Description

If WebAuthn authentication or setup fails or times out, we currently replace the entire UI with an error message and a "reload page" button, and force the user to reload the page in order to try again. But there's no technical reason why that's necessary. We should instead show them a "try again" button, and leave the rest of the UI more or less intact.
