UX Issue with key verification
So I have found a user experience issue with key verification between different Riot devices.
I opened up Riot desktop on my computer and it said that it wants to verify my phone so it can share keys, great. So then I open up Riot on my iPhone and then the dialog box pops up saying that it wants to verify my computer, great... except because those pop up boxes are in my way, now I can't see each device's own key. On my computer, I just see the supposed key for my phone and my phone just shows me the supposed key of my computer but I can't verify either because I can't see if that is really the key or not.
The verify screen that shows the key for the other device should also show the key for the device I am holding so that I can actually verify the keys from both sides if that makes any sense.

On Android:
- device Id may be displayed at the bottom of the main navigation drawer menu (it's currently lost in the big settings page)
On all Riot clients:
- When re-requesting the keys manually, we could display a popup containing the deivceId to help the user
