this PR adds a hint about making sure no 3rd party can see the "Add Second Device" QR code. the PR is the outcome of some community discussions.

the dialog and the hint are already used on all OS, so that is a low hanging fruit -
(compared to other ideas of changing flow direction etc, which we might go for at some point;
however, that would be lots of effort on all UI,
is tricky UX wise, will come with new bugs and other cornercases, and are also not bullet save against careless users, "hey, scan my QR code ... no, from 'Add Second Device, Next, Next ...'" :)

for easy adaption and not to do lots of subsequent things on all platforms, the PR is only about the wording, colors etc. are out of scope.
