v13.1 (11805)
iPhone 8 11.4.1 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to sync.
2. Change the FxA password on desktop.
3. Sync on iOS

Actual results:
- User is not prompted to re-enter the new password on iOS. Only after restarting the app will the user be prompted to enter the password. 

Expected results:
- User should be prompted to re-enter password after first sync on iOS.

Dupe of bug 1483606?

Bug 1483606 shows the old behaviour. 

The new behaviour is that after changing the password on desktop, the user is prompted to enter the password only after restarting the app on iOS. This bug is logged so that the user should be promoted to enter the new password after the first sync.

There's two things we need to do here to reach parity with desktop:

1.) Handle HTTP 401 errors from Sync storage server and re-authenticate when encountered
2.) Handle `password_changed` push notification

It may be too late in the v14.0 cycle to do #2, but we may be able to do #1 as long as the patch is low-risk.

Assigning this to myself but pushing off till next release. After spending some time investigating this today, it has become clear that there's no good short-term solution here.
