Conversation
WebAuthn Level 3 recommends a ceremony timeout between 300_000 and 600_000 milliseconds, with 300_000 (5 minutes) as the default. Our previous default of 120_000 was below that range. https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3/#sctn-timeout-recommended-range

Motivation
WebAuthn L3 updated the ceremony timeout guidance in the "Recommended Range for Ceremony Timeouts" section:
Our default
credential_options_timeoutis120_000, which is below the recommended range.Details
This PR bumps the default to
300_000. It's a behavior change for anyone on the default, but in the safe direction (more time to complete a ceremony), and it stays configurable.
