Subject: [PATCH] FIX - simplify VaultX account flows

Keep login and registration actions visible in a dedicated footer and enlarge the password guidance. Remove the network badge, gradients, and glows from VaultX action buttons. Fix the registration mock by tracking registration state and persisting the submitted password so the new mock account can authenticate afterward.
