40-44: Polish MFA warning wording & match Amazon terminology

A few style tweaks improve clarity and align with Amazon’s “Two-Step Verification” phrasing.

-This integration requires multifactor authentication using an authentication app (such as Microsoft Authenticator, for example). To enable MFA, in your Amazon account settings select **Login & Security** > **2-step verification** > **Backup methods** > **Add new app**. See [Amazon's documentation](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G9MX9LXNWXFKMJYU) for more information.
