Add a link to help page on all two-factor authentification process steps
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I had a conversation with a user, struggeling with his two-factor authentification and not getting any help from the interface. He told me that there is no link to any help page there, especially when he was trying to recover new tokens. he didn't remember that he has copied some tokens somewhere.

Create a link between the different steps and the central help page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Two-factor_authentication would be great.

Event Timeline

If I get it right that 2FA setup looks like a WMF-only thing, so such a help link maybe should not be default in general MediaWiki?

The idea is to add links to 2FA steps, that are (I guess) in an extension or something similar.
