Description
Feature Request
If you add a new WebAuth device you can enter a name, which cannot be changed afterwards anymore. An option should be added to the menu which allows to rename a device after it has been added, similar as app tokens can be renamed.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start at the device-management menu and trace the existing app-token rename flow, then identify the corresponding WebAuthn device name handling. Done means an already-added device can be renamed from its menu and the new name persists and is displayed afterward.
