What am I missing with passkeys?

I am finally getting around to putting passkeys into action.. but something isn't adding up.

As a low risk test, I added a passkey to a bestbuy account. Started up an incognito session, and logged back in with my PASSWORD. Uhhh...?

Soooooo - passkeys are great (who doesn't like public key cryptography?!).. but if you can continue to log in with a password (didn't see a way to disable it), then what good are passkeys?

Shouldn't it be a password OR passkey - but not both? Or, at a minimum, the ability to disable the password? What am I missing? Do most passkey enabled sites allow the password fallback?

Thanks!
