Bug description:
The bug is about finding the right content to present to the user when
an online service requests a re-authentication.
This scenario happens with Online Accounts. The user has created an OA
account in the system, for example an Ubuntu One account.
The related OAuth token may expire after a while, or the user may change
his/her password. At this stage, the online service will require the user to
re-authenticate and re-enter his/her password.
When that happens, OA will show a password prompt and we are looking
for the right information level to present to the user.
The minimum input required is the username/password pair that will be
sent back to the online service.
Additionally we could present the service icon and name, and a short
paragraph explaining that this service requests an identity
confirmation.
Note: this re-authentication happens at the system level, as opposed
to being limited to a particular application. An app may trigger this
process because it sends a request to the online service with outdated
credentials. But the implication is beyond that particular app, as the
re-authentication will allow all authorized apps to continue using the
online service in question.
