MongoDB Atlas web panel bait and switches database accounts leading to accidental misconfiguration of accounts.

When clicking [ Edit ] on a database user, the MongoDB Atlas panel shows settings dialog for database user A, but then quickly switches the information to database user B.

The dialog title (etc) says "database user A" and then half a second later "database user B".

Then, when you think you are adjusting settings for database user A, you accidentally change the settings of database user B, potentially causing database user B to loose access.
