We explored a range of design solutions before ultimately landing on a cleaner and more consistent approach. While we considered using a red dot and an additional indicator to show confirmation status, we decided against it as the action isn’t currently required and the pattern didn’t align with how similar information is displayed elsewhere (e.g., identity verification). Instead, we placed a confirm CTA next to the Edit button, aligning with existing right-aligned action patterns for a streamlined experience. We also leveraged the Passport team’s alert pattern on the Account Settings page to surface user to-dos, which eliminated the need for a third line or separate indicator.

We ultimately landed on placing the confirm CTA next to the Edit CTA, as it was the cleanest option and maintained consistency with our existing pattern of right-aligned actions. While we explored using a red dot to indicate status, we decided against it since confirmation isn’t a required action at this time. To surface the task to users, we chose to use an alert on the Account Settings page, leveraging the Passport team’s existing pattern for user to-dos. We also considered using an additional indicator (dot, icon, or label) to show confirmation status, but opted to follow the precedent set by identity verification, which uses a simple “verified” label without an icon. As a result, a third line of text became unnecessary
