Alex, can you reproduce this? I tried using the latest TestFlight version but could not.

Steps:
- Create account on desktop. Don't verify it.
- Sign-in on iOS
- Opened account confirm email on desktop browser
- Mobile displays checkmark to say that it is verified
- Hit back and return to Settings on iOS

Actual results:
- In Settings, under the email, shows “Enter your password to connect.” for a slight second then account becomes connected
- If we click on the email in settings, it takes you to settings view

We reproduced this yesterday’s Sync Fest but with slightly different steps:
1. register for sync on ios
2. verify on a different device
3. press done on account verified screen

EXPECTED RESULTS
- iOS is now syncing

ACTUAL RESULTS
- Does not appear to Sync until preferences section is visited. Enters verified state at that point and not before.

I confirm that I can reproduce it.

I recorded the flow on my phone. It did it on the first shot. (so I'm 2 for 2) Check it out here:

You can see the checkmark appear when I confirm on Desktop. I return to Settings and it looks like my email is still unconfirmed.

Additional details:
- I got a confirmation email on registration on desktop AND on login on iOS
- I confirmed on the first email received from desktop
- Tested with Firefox 9.0 (5725) on iOS 11 and Desktop Nightly 57.0a1 (2017-09-08) (64-bit)

Apologies for the long pause in the recording (just noticed). I was realizing that I'd received 2 emails. I was also double checking the steps listed in Comment 1 to make sure I was repeating them faithfully. Unfortunately I couldn't record the whole screen since I was recording iPhone screen from QuickTime.

This seems to work now. Not sure what we changed though. I can't replicate it anymore.
