This is the iOS peer to bug 1296328 and bug 1300297.

I don't have an iOS device to test on, so it's not clear to me whether this is actually a problem right now or not. But given that it was/is a problem on desktop and Android, I wanted to raise it here to capture the possibility of it happening at least.

When a user changes their password in FxA, the server destroys the device record. This means that, if there is a signed-in Sync session after the password is changed, it won't show up in the user's list of connected devices. To resolve that, clients must re-register the device (including the device id in the request) after handling the `fxaccounts:change_password` web-channel notification.
