Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Fix security key (WebAuthn) support/Proposal
Appearance
- 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.
