Hmm, do you have a better one? :/ I can't think about one. The message should indicate the very rare case, that the user wants to continue an authentication workflow (e.g. if the user is redirected back to the MediaWiki site after he authenticated with Google), but MediaWiki does not know any authentication workflow started by the user (session).

maybe there's no one that is already running.?
