In fact WebAuthn is explicit that you should allow multiple tokens. But every time I see an HN thread it has people who insist this doesn't work or at least isn't common. When asked for examples, if they give any answers...

1. Most often these are sites where you can't use this technology at all. They'll have TOTP or something and apparently "I don't know anything about this" == "I know everything there is to know about this topic" in the increasingly LLM-crazy world we inhabit.

2. Usually otherwise it's AWS. Which is pretty annoying, but it's one site. I have like a couple of dozen places where I use WebAuthn and in all of those two (or three, or in a few cases four) tokens are enrolled. I don't have an AWS account, my employer is a Microsoft-only shop in this respect.
