I get the tricky point of needing something to encrypt data, at the end
a password/passphrase has to be provided to do the process.

Persona can still be used to verify the email provided and then ask for
a passphrase to encrypt data, so work flow could be something like:

  * Click on Log in to Firefox Accounts.
  * Persona dialog ? Verification ? OK.
  * Enter the passprashe to encrypt your data.
  * Success.

Regards.
