Re: [webauthn] Recovering from Device Loss (#931)

@dagnelies 

Unfortunately all the methods you listed either sacrifice privacy, or require accessing the backup location/device during sign up, which is both dangerous and adds friction. At minimum, I think a good recovery method (1) should reveal no private information; (2) can be stored somewhere secure like in a safe deposit box or with trusted friend; and (3) still allows me to create new accounts without opening the safe or asking the friend every time.

This *can* be done, but has to be supported by the protocol. I'd rather disable the recovery method for my extra-sensitive accounts, than have no good recovery method on any account.
