 * Hi,
 * I’ve installed the wp-webauthn plugin on a WordPress network (multisite). The
   authentication works fine on the main site. But it doesn’t work when trying to
   login from one of the other sites (keys are refused).
 * I think that the authenticators should be registered at network level, like the
   other login (username, password) details. It may be only a matter of replacing`
   get_option` with `get_site_option` and the likes, to make it work in either monosite
   or multisite installs.
 * Or am I misunderstanding something? What do you think?

 * Hi jeromerdlv,
 * Unfortunately WP-WebAuthn has no proper multi-site support yet. We are currently
   working on it but it may take some time. Simply switching to `get_site_option`
   does meet general needs, but we think it’s better to have more granular control
   over site permissions.

 * Thanks for your answer. It’s OK for me to know that network support is not effective
   yet, and that it may be in the future. This uncertainty was my main concern.
 * I know of course that my suggestion with `get_site_option` was a simplistic one.
   But I’m not sure to understand what you mean by « more granular control over 
   site permissions » and I’d be glad to know more, if you have time to detail that
   a bit.
 * In my actual understanding, there’s possible granularity in permissions once 
   a user is logged in, but I perceive the authentication as a fundamentally boolean
   state: you’re authenticated or you’re not, and which shouldn’t vary from one 
   site to another. Or should it?
 * Thanks again and anyway.

 * Hi jeromerdlv,
 * Thank you for clarifying your concerns. For “better control”, I mean sub sites
   should have options to opt in or out the auth set up for the whole network. However
   sometimes this is conflict with the “website domain” option since authenticators
   only work under the domain they registered. We’ll try our best to carefully design
   and implement all these features so that the options work intuitively.
 * Sorry for the late reply. Hope this helps.

 * adding: the settings are missing on multisite: wp-admin/options-general.php?page
   =wwa_admin is what i have on a single site (might on a child site if i dont enable
   the plugin network wide)
