Yep, most of the work on this is happening there and within the current mega patch. I'll plan to track and resolve this task once that one gets merged.

Marking as resolved with the completion of T232336. There are some small UI tweak that are tracked in separate bugs for the continuing FY2025-26 WE 4.6 - Account Security (WE 4.6.4 - 2FA improvements and passkey support).
