Why are passkeys and other password-free options more secure than passwords?

Saw this [article from The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/31/23329373/dashlane-passkeys-password-manager?fbclid=IwAR2osU0FeCEN-NeEM1Mj6NJc2XLhWLbtsntT30hq7eqglghWh-k7iH6Wn94) that is very hyped about it. But it seems like a token is stored on a device, and presumably someone could steal the device and have the same benefits of having all your passwords. I don’t understand how having no passwords makes anyone’s data safer.

stealing a device is harder and more risky than phishing for passwords or buying them online, and it will be immediately noticed by the victim.
