603249 - clearing sync key during first time setup shows incorrect error text

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

1. Go through first-time setup until you reach Your Sync Key, specifying an 8 character account password.
2. Select the auto-generated sync key and then press Cmd-X to Cut it to the clipboard.
BUG: The error "The Sync Key cannot be the same as your password" is shown.

I think the error should be "A Sync Key is required", if any error is to be displayed at this stage.

Note that pasting and cutting the key a couple more times results in a dialog that has an empty sync key, the incorrect error, and a "Strength: [XXXXXXXXXXXXXX]" red bar.

You can no longer manually edit sync keys in the wizard, so this can't be reproed.
