You can implement single-factor authentication by using an authenticator that verifies something you know, or are. A something-you-are factor is accepted as authentication, but it's not accepted solely as an authenticator.

One example is the Microsoft Authenticator app, in passwordless mode: the user access to a secured resource (relying party), and receives notification on the Authenticator app. The user provides a biometric (something you are) or a PIN (something you know). This factor unlocks the cryptographic key on the phone (something you have), which the verifier validates.
