Description
### Describe the problem
WebAuthn currently works only as a second factor. Even with a passkey enrolled, signing in still requires typing e-mail and password first. A passkey with user verification is already two factors on its own, something you have plus a biometric or PIN, so the password on top adds little. I would like to sign in with the passkey alone, no password.
### Solution brainstorm
Make passwordless login configurable and add a passkey button to the sign-in page.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing WebAuthn second-factor flow and the sign-in page. Determine where passwordless login can be made configurable and where a passkey button belongs. Done means a user with a verified passkey can sign in without entering an e-mail or password, while the existing password flow remains available.
