Description

I like the new QR-code verification flow very much :)

However, for the purpose of verifying ones one device at first login, the wording is very irritating:

In this screenshot, I am asked to scan "the other persons" QR-code, and I can confirm by clicking "Scan his/her code" or deny with "I can't scan (if you are not at the same place, compare emojis instead)". none of these makes sense when verifying my own devices.

A tailored dialoge like "Confirm this device belongs to you by scanning a QR-Code.." would be great.
