+- The GitLab U2F implementation does _not_ work when the GitLab instance is accessed from
+multiple hostnames, or FQDNs. Each U2F registration is linked to the _current hostname_ at
+the time of registration, and cannot be used for other hostnames/FQDNs.
+
+ For example, if a user is trying to access a GitLab instance from `first.host.xyz` and `second.host.xyz`:
+
+ - The user logs in via `first.host.xyz` and registers their U2F key.
+ - The user logs out and attempts to log in via `first.host.xyz` - U2F authentication suceeds.
+ - The user logs out and attempts to log in via `second.host.xyz` - U2F authentication fails, because
+ the U2F key has only been registered on `first.host.xyz`.
