I assume this is Native Fennec. This is working like I intended it to for now. Hitting ok should show a message like "Incorrect password".

This is more difficult with Native Fennec than XUL Fennec. We don't know what your master password is, so we would have to send a message to Gecko with each keystroke and ask it to compare against the master password (by attempting to decrypt the keystore with it). If it worked, we'd send a message back to Java and change the button state.

Bringing in madhava/UX to know if they want this and how important it is to them.

In Native, there is no logic in place to alter the enabled/disabled state of the 'OK' button by providing an incorrect password.

To be clear, the bug is for the XUL version of Fennec.
