Topic on Extension talk:WebAuthn/Flow

The docs state there's an OAuth dependency: "WebAuthn requires OATHAuth and GMP php extensions to be installed as a prerequisite." In real life there is no dependency between WebAuthn and OAuth.

Why is there an artificial dependency being introduced here?

The OATHAuth extension provides all the plumbing to let you use OAuth and similar features with MediaWiki. It's not "artificial". Perhaps some of this code should live inside MediaWiki itself; patches welcome!
