[UI/UX Design] Design a 2FA recovery-email fallback confirmation flow

[thlpkee20-wq]

Description

When a user loses their 2FA device, a recovery-email fallback must be secure yet accessible. Design a flow that verifies the recovery email, throttles requests, and clearly communicates progress and cooldowns.

Requirements and context

• Must be accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), responsive, and documented in the design system
• Should be consistent with existing patterns and easy to review
• Relevant code: src/components/TwoFactorSetup.tsx
• Cooldown must show a countdown in plain language

Suggested execution

• Fork the repo and create a branch
• git checkout -b uiux/2fa-recovery-email-flow
• Implement changes
  • Design the request-code screen and code-entry screen
  • Specify throttling and cooldown UI
  • Draft the "still can't access" support link
• Validate accessibility and responsive assumptions

Test and commit

• Run checks
  • npm run lint and component/visual tests
• Cover edge cases
  • Repeated requests, expired codes, screen reader flow
• Include screenshots/before-after and accessibility (axe) notes

Example commit message

design: 2fa recovery email flow

Guidelines

• Minimum 95 percent test coverage
• Clear documentation
• Timeframe: 96 hours
