Face ID and associated passwords

This has happened several times-I start a new account or update password in an old one, then switch to face ID Later, I need to log into the same account using the password and it is nowhere to be found, yet face ID still logs in. Where do I find the Face ID password? Why is iPhone not saving this in a retrievable location?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
