After discussion on slack we've decided that this would not be good from a UX point of view.

Partial fix in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425701
Chrome 63 or less don't get js served anymore https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/904851, can only fix for Chrome 64+
Ssee https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178356 when this change was implemented
Wed, May 6
Works on Chrome 67, broken in Chrome 64 and 66.
Looks like support for these old browsers was removed on purpouse in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344791
Login is broken in Chrome 62
Weird behaviour, on first "cold" login it fails and gives the warnings, even though the password is 100% correct, because I copy pasted it. It also also to solve the word-captcha.
If you try to logout/login again afterwards it works just fine on first try.

It gives that error as mentioned when you're logged as a normal user, but it works fine as user with skip-captcha permission in Firefox 57
That warning should be fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/OATHAuth/+/1281397
On Firefox 56-57 works from first try, even though that warning Javascript must be enabled in your browser to use a security key is there
First attemped it shows the error from the screenshot, but on retrying it works
Here is how it looks
I just tested on
https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portugal_in_the_Junior_Eurovision_Song_Contest#/editor/all that it now works correctly on Chromium Version 147.0.7727.116 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) it seems the menu now works in Arabic

Tested as https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MPostoronca-WMF on mobile/desktop in visual/source editor, with the keyword 'testcaptcha' (because of the rule https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/304 ) and I saw no hCaptcha challenge.
Checked on test wiki, it does not happen anymore
Wed, Apr 29
Close as all the config variable depends on the title
Tue, Apr 28
Seems fixed on wiki 1.46.0-wmf.26
Mon, Apr 27
Will test again tomorrow Apr 28th 2026,
The fix for this variable in mediawiki-config was merged on Mar 17th, but probably deployed on Tuesday 24th of March.
I can reproduce this locally if I put $wgHCaptchaEnabledInMobileFrontend = false; in my LocalSettings.php.

I've tested this locally on latest master of ConfirmEdit.
As an admin -> edit -> visual editor -> source editor -> try to trigger AbuseFilter -> saves with no hCaptcha.
Thanks, moved to QA.
