Re: [keycloak-dev] Password Updates and Authenticators in the new Account Console
I'm all on board with planning some followup work to polish the experience
around AIA. Having a theme that matches the account console sounds like a
decent idea. We can either make it switch the theme always for the account
console, or perhaps we could also introduce a flag to allow the client to
control the theme and let account console use a different theme for AIAs.
Should be noted that this should be planned as follow-up work though and
not as part of the new account console epic. So would be most likely
something we couldn't do until next year unless it's not to much work.

This is the point that we will need to emphasize to users when they
first see the new account console.
Vaclav is right to point out the awkwardness as it stands right now. I
think that we can smooth things out, but until we do, users need to
understand what Stian said above. Then they will at least know it is
for the sake of better security.
