This isn't biometric authentication: it's WebAuthn, which is a public-key based system implemented by all major browsers (https://webauthn.io/). This particular implementation uses biometrics to unlock it but other implementations use a contact sensor (Yubikeys) or PIN, and the target website doesn't need to know anything about which particular mechanism was used to unlock the keystore.
