"Something you have" isn't part of a password, its an alternative, non-password factor; passwords are always "something you know".
There is a trend to use biometrics in place of passwords, which is a convenience feature which compromises security, even though it is often misrepresented as a security feature. (Using biometrics as a second factor helps security, but there is a big difference between "and" and "or" security measures.)
