AWS wickr documentation change
Summary
Updated sign-in process documentation with renumbered steps, added AWS Region selection option, removed screenshots, and clarified verification flow
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about optionally selecting AWS Region during sign-in and emphasizes secure storage of Master Recovery Key (MRK). While these relate to security features (regional authentication context and recovery key management), there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The MRK guidance reinforces existing security best practices rather than introducing new protections.
