Hi, can someone explain me how passwordless recovery flow should work, please?

Is it possible to set a new security key during recovery?

So when you do recovery it gives you a short privileged session, you can call public APIs just as if you had normal session.

So to answer your question: yes, you can set a new security key once you complete the recovery flow (click on the link in email or given to you by admin)

But how do I set up a new security key? When I set it up as a 2FA key, it doesn't allow me to use this key instead, it still requires the original key that was used during the registration.

To be exact, my newly registered device shows an error "this device is not registered with this application"
