@purvi-ranawat, you probably didn't secure your Android 13 device with a passcode, did you?

We use a "hardware-backed keystore" for this feature. That is not enabled, as long as a device isn't secured with a passcode or passphrase. Hence we don't show it.

Of course it is confusing to users, who see multiple devices.

@hiromipaw, let me know, if we should improve the UI in that case, and how.

@purvi-ranawat has this been updated and fixed (it should've been removed / replaced by enabling locking Save w/ passphrase) but unsure if it has been yet. please test and leave open if not, and close if so, thanks!
