Nice! Yes, let's do more of this.

They will have to re-enter their password, because we have that famous
antithesis of usability called "encryption". (Also for a variety of
other architectural reasons to do with session management, but the
encryption is the one we can't hack around on the backend).

This we already do some of, although we we might be able to pull it up
into browser chrome more.
Note that as of Nightly, Hello has the same problem as Sync - it needs
encryption keys, and hence must re-prompt for your password during setup.
