Would probably lead to notification fatigue.

Showing a big snackbar when a new device is added is probably enough, especially if the app can detect there was no "action" on your phone that triggered it.

Key transparency, once rolled out, would help to ensure there is no lingering "bad" device around, but phishing will always be a problem.

Probably true...

> Showing a big snackbar when

A big... what?

Can you tell me what this new lingo is for someone who doesn't use the latest and shittiest marketing lingo?

> latest and shittiest marketing lingo

It exists since Android 6: https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/m...

Informative banner that does not require user interaction to dismiss.

Snackbar isn't a particularly new term, it goes back, IIRC, to the first version of Material Design and is similar to a toast but different in that snackbars may support interaction whereas toasts are non-interactive.
An in-app notification along the bottom of your screen. Usually just some text on a dark grey or black background.

Is that what you call the words you don't understand?
