Steps to reproduce

Hello all! I noticed something strange in the Deactivate Account page in the Desktop Element app. I went to Settings, then to General, then Deactivate Account to get to the correct area where the 'bug' seems to occur. At the bottom, there seems to be two redundant statements basically telling you to enter your password. I feel as if this might have been an oversight or potentially a bug, as there should only be one statement instructing the user to do this. The statements I'm talking about are as follows:

  1. "To continue, please enter your account password:"
  2. "Confirm your identity by entering your account password below."
    I have added the screenshot of the aforementioned popup panel I am talking about below, where you can see the two lines towards the bottom.

I would imagine that having just the first statement or a combination of the two into one would be the solution here. Don't get me wrong, the intent of both messages are clear. It's just a bit redundant and unnecessary to have it basically repeated twice here. What are your thoughts?

Outcome

What did you expect?

For there to only be one statement telling the user to enter their password.

What happened instead?

I saw two! 😲
