1171985 - Looks like you entered your FxA password wrong, when you didn't

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1170707

(Firefox for iOS :: Firefox Accounts, defect)

Description

On Build 19 signing into FxA gives the attached incorrect status message, which disappears by navigating out of the settings view. You are prompted to enter your password to connect, which you don't need to do, and are unable to do. 

Reproduced on iPhone and iPad.

Any ideas, Nick? I think I've seen this myself.

My guess is this means that we got the sign-in bundle from the fxa-content-server and started to sign you in, but there was a problem.  The keyFetchToken is single use, so we can't try again.  To get a new keyFetchToken, we ask for your password.

I have seen this when you race to advance the state machine twice; somebody will win the race to use the keyFetchToken first; the second person will fail to get keys and go back to the beginning.

We need to (and I thought we did) advance the login state machine upon getting the sign-in bundle from the fxa-content-server.
