Expected behaviour

The settings are self-explaining

Actual behaviour

See s setting "Security" (wasn't visible in the past until push notifications where added)
It seems to refer to two-factor things and remote-wipe, but I failed to come up with a one liner:

Research direction

Open apps/settings/lib/Activity/SecuritySetting.php at the linked line and inspect how the “Security” activity setting is presented. Replace the non-descriptive wording with a self-explanatory label covering the setting’s purpose, then verify it in both personal and admin activity settings.
