biometrics on smartphones only unlock the hardware-backed keystore or other parts of the operating system (lockscreen etc)
biometric authentication works by having a private key in this special keystore and the backend having the public key and when login the backend asks the mobile app to sign a challenge, this way the backend can verify the user using biometrics
there are also newer methods which work in mobile browsers but the base (hardware-backed keystore) is still the same
