Improving the description of the resetting Security Key consequences:

### Have you considered any alternatives?
_No response_
### Additional context
I am also logged in on my phone. But every time I am logged out from a device, I am unable to see the old messages.
And I believe that if I was able to recover my Security Key, I could back up my messages and thus recover them when logging in on a new device.
