The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes on-screen text shown during the 'Prove Device Ownership' step of a password reset. The new wording warns the user that entering the wrong PIN/password too many times will wipe the device. It does not change any security logic, attempt limits, or wipe behavior—only the user-facing warning message.

Recommended action

No security action required beyond normal review. If the underlying wipe-after-attempt-limit behavior is intended, ensure the attempt limit and wipe logic are separately reviewed and tested; this commit only addresses user communication.

Security signals we found

01

Adds explicit wipe warning to ownership-proof step
