In my opinion you should think of WebAuthn as the first factor. If you want additional second factors (of whatever nature they may be) you can still add these of course.

Think of it like logging in using a SSH-key.

Thanks, I was thinking of it this way as well... for SSH keys I us a second factor as a hardware device but I can also use a hardware key for WebAuthn so that is where i was thinking maybe it's a 2nd factor... but for the web, I think it makes sense as a alternative to the password.
