This doesn't need to be a blocker, very minor bug for a feature that doesn't exist on production. @allroundexperts please fix this in a followup.

Not 100% sure how we should fix this yet. We could try using Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.SETTINGS_SECURITY) before navigating to the success page so that the details and validate pages are removed from the stack. However, I'm afraid that might cause unnecessary animations. Navigation.removeScreenFromNavigationState might be a better alternative.
