Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/twofactor_gateway/issues/99

When a user re-installs Signal or switches it's mobile, new keys will be generated. The implementation used by the signal web gateway does then refuse to send messages due to key mismatch (security-wise 👍).

I've added an endpoint to delete the existing key so communication is working again.

A button like "re-key" or "new phone" or something clever which hit's this endpoint using DELETE and the mobile number with country prefix but without the +.
