Fix security key (WebAuthn) support

  • Problem: MediaWiki's support for security keys (for example YubiKeys) via WebAuthn for two-factor authentication is, well, not very good. There are two main issues:
    • Security keys are tied to a single wiki. Combined with the broken cross-wiki auto-login mechanism this makes it annoying to log in.
    • It is only possible to add a single key to an account. Best practices for using security keys include having several keys with access in case a single key is damaged or lost.
  • Proposed solution: Fix the bugs mentioned above.
  • Who would benefit: Users who want to secure their user accounts.
