Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. A user (on Element X) requests verification with me (using Element Web)
2. I accept, and we both proceed with verification
3. Both get to the screen where you can see emoji, but we don't click anything - just wait for timeout

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

A message like "Timed out while trying to verify this user"

#### What happened instead?

A big popup saying "Your messages are not secure". This is much more alarming than it should be in my opinion.
