Description

I'm trying to verify all my devices (sadly I have lost the first device I ever used), but I haven't been able to verify any device. On my phone (Android), I have both Riot and RiotX currently because RiotX looks verfied on my phone, but when I look in any other device it does not look verified.

When I try to verify any of my other devices (linux client, or the other android app, the original Riot app), the app either never gives me a prompt, or when it does I do all the steps and on the last step after I press confirm on both devices it says on my phone "the user cancelled the request" (or something similar), while on my other device it says "successful verification". However, when I then check, the new device is not verified.

I also tried using the old "legacy" verification, however, using that crashes the app when I say that I trust it.

My problem at the moment is that I don't have any verified device (luckily I still have the encryption password so I can still read chats), but it doesn't look right being a none-verified user in the chats. :( Is there any other way I can verify my devices, or that a fix to the problem is coming with the "legacy" verification crashing the app?
