When the user saves the new name, the name should update, both in the UI and in the backend, ideally without reloading the page

This is clearly nice, though I think it would be bearable for this feature to show up post-launch if we needed to descope something.

Agreed, I'll look for a more urgent task to work on next

(The names will eventually be editable, right?)

+1 to the names being editable - otherwise, for anyone that's currently added more than one authenticator app (and can currently remember which is which), they presumably won't be able to give them more descriptive names without removing & re-adding them.
(Also, if someone e.g. changes phone in a way that allows them to transfer the data stored by their authenticator app, a previously-entered name may end up no longer being accurate - e.g., someone might originally name an app "Authy on iPhone 13", which then wouldn't be accurate if they upgraded to an iPhone 15.)
