[[mw:Extension:WebAuthn|WebAuthn]] is another two-factor mechanism that may be enabled; it is currently not recommended as there is [[phab:T244348|no recovery mechanism]] for lost keys and it has less support from community volunteers. If you use WebAuthn and have a technical issue, you may lose access to your account forever.
 
WebAuthn may require you to logon on the same project that you have set it up on, when logging on in the future. For example, if you enroll WebAuthn here on the English Wikipedia, then log out, you will not be able to log on at the Spanish Wikipedia - you would need to log on here first. This is a [[phab:T244088|known issue]].
 
WebAuthn is not currently supported on the mobile apps (see [[phab:T230043|T230043]]).
