      I have created my account and expected that to allow me to sync.
      Then it asks for my passphrase.
      I don't remember my passphrase from previous accounts.
      So I click reset passphrase
      It deletes all synced details on my account and logs me out
      I log back in again
      I go to sync
      It asks for my passphrase.
      Aaaaaaaaarghhh!

      Also, what's with a browser whose bookmark system doesn't just let you click and HOLD down on a bookmark and drag it up and down a folder? Is there some option to turn this on? Given how often I need to move my bookmarks around, that's just a basic requirement in my view. Drag folders and bookmarks into other folders and bookmarks etc... I don't want to have to click to open the sidebar and click to select the folder I want and click the right bookmarks view panel to bring all my many bookmarks up in simple lines just to drag a bookmark up or down when I can do by a simple HOLD-CLICK IN the bookmarks themselves in most other browsers!

        If you had another account before, it's probably asking for the old password. If you are on a new or reinstalled OS, it may be asking for you (old) login password.

          Thanks, I ended up going with the Google account login. Will that continue to work when google+ closes?
