Entering Sync passphrase is confusing

Project Member Reported by droger@chromium.org, Aug 2

Issue description

Tested with MD refresh and unity enabled, on Linux.

When turning on Sync with a passphrase, the user needs to go to settings to enter the passphrase.

There is a text box where the passphrase can be entered, and a "submit button".

When clicking "submit", nothing visible happens. The sync error is still here, and there is no feedback whether the passphrase was correct or not.

This is very confusing. I tried typing my passphrase several times and thought the text field was broken. I gave up and left the settings page, and saw that Sync started at this time.
 
Is this related to  issue 870256  at all? Or is it happening regardless?
After skimming through the code, it seems like once user enters an incorrect passphrase, the field will be set to invalid[1], but I don't see we're resetting it anywhere if user then types in the correct passphrase.
