Re: [webauthn] Allow immediate mediation (#2228)

> Sites do this now using cookies, but this would make that problem somewhat worse because users who have manually cleared their cookies might still have the existence of a sign-in credential apparent to the site through this mechanism.

It's also an issue because of sync. I sync my personal browser profile between home and work, so they have access to the same credentials, but there are some sites I only log into at home. If I happen to access the same site at work, I don't particularly want it knowing that it knows me.

This could maybe be addressed by having some record of sites I have logged into that is intentionally not synced between machines. This would be consistent with how cookies work now, so maybe not too surprising?
