Dehydrated device is adding the possibility for a user to still access e2ee messages that was sent to him when he had 0 active sessions (logged out from everywhere).
In order to do that, we declare a sort of virtual device on the account that will stack up to_devices messages until you decide to claim it. In order to claim it you need a passphrase (the virtual device is saved encrypted serverside)
Impact for users
In the settings, users will always see an additional device in their device list

This would be very confusing for the user.
We have to find another place to store that dehydrated device.
We might have some managment action on the device?
