Description

### Description

Verify this login & verify this session - Skip button changes position in second "are you really sure" dialog.
This is a problem, because it provides a confusing UX. This can be considered a dark pattern technique, not respectting the user's choice to skip, and steer the user to a developer desired option. Please respect the users.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Log out and log back in again
2. Try skipping the verification dialogs (login and verify)

Expected result: The app to respect my SKIP and proceed with unverified session and login
Actual result: an "are you sure?" nag dialog with shuffled Skip button to make it even harder to skip, no respect for the user choice

### Version information

olm version: 3.2.1
