Details

(Whiteboard: [fidefe-device-migration])

The "Turn on", "Add password" and "Change password" dialogs use similar password input fields. We could reduce repetitive code by making those fields a single component that's importable into the respective dialogs. Alternatively, we could try composing the "Add/Change password" dialog component itself into the "Turn on" one whenever we show or hide sensitive data options.

We should ensure that password validation still runs on the client side. Unlike Bug 1893284, this component is specific to the Backup component only.

There is ongoing work for Bug 1896772 that makes this change, simplifying how we validate passwords. Won't resolve as a DUPE just yet, since the changes are still in review. Something to keep an eye out for regardless.

Depends on: 1896772
