Description

### Steps to reproduce

I don't know, it's probably a one-time bug, but I was doing an MITM on the app:
1. Open the app
2. Go to Android settings and install a certificate
3. Start MITM proxy
4. Close the app
5. Open the app

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
App opening normally

#### What happened instead?
"Confirm this device" screen, and if you press that emojis match both devices will say that the numbers didn't match. I had to logout, after which the device verification worked correctly.
