Does passport do something similar?

Passport.js is an integration library for an identity system - so it's like a client library. As far as I know (it's been a while) it does not solve the "registration" or "password recovery" part itself. The system used in the blog post however does all of those things, from WebAuthn, to 2FA, to linking additional social sign in systems (e.g. Google or Twitter), and so on! So in this example, you could use Passport.j…

I thought passport has libraries for the web server also

Been working on a webapp on-and-off using Kratos for a bit and it is a massive relief to be able to delegate the hard parts of authentication to something else.

My only real pain points are the docs and the JS SDK - the docs can be rough depending on what you're looking at, and the SDK has no documentation at all. I get that it's automatically generated, but it's enough of a pain to figure out that I resorted to just making the HTTP requests myself.
