Re: [webauthn] Support a "create or get [or replace]" credential re-association operation (#1568)

> Yes, it [choosing to create a new account] could be an option in the client UI, but I'm not convinced the client UI is a better place to make that decision than the RP UI.

The reason I think that would be better a better place in a lot of cases is because the client UI is something that users will see repeatedly looking exactly the same from site to site, where the RP UI will usually be different. That consistency means a lot when it comes to critical workflows.

While it's true that they might not have the correct device connected, managing all that in the client UI instead of the RP makes a lot of sense to me.
