The new STEEM feature to change passwords is great, but the alert for updated accounts should be better


When a user utilizes the new "reset password"  a warning pops-up informing the user that the back-end noticed the change in security keys.   This is an excellent alert and great functionality update. 

With that said,  I did the pop up alert even though I did personally provoke the action and reset my keys in the process.  I could see this being a bit confusing to many users.  Perhaps not early adopters but users less familiar with security concerns with crypto.  

Here's my recommendation:

Without adding a bunch of additional logic updates(tons of items on the plate i'm sure) that would cross reference the IP etc, changing the verbiage would be a nice improvement. 

"If you recently reset your password at(timestamp in strftime, example:  Thu, 21 Jul 2016 02:39:19 PST) this alert was most likely prompted by this action, otherwise your immediate attention is needed"
