Overview
Users could use third-party Identity Provider (IdP) to log into ChromeOS devices. Users could
change their password through IdP's website. When users change password, ChromeOS devices would
need to ask user to re-type their password on the ChromeOS device to re-encrypt their local
data partition. Today, user are only prompted to re-type their password when they log into
ChromeOS device next time. There could be significant delay between user changes their password
on IdP website and user logs into their ChromeOS device. User may have forgotten the fact that
they have changed their password.
Chrome Device Token API allows IdP to notify ChromeOS devices that users have changed their
password. ChromeOS devices should then prompt users to re-type immediately so that users are
more likely to type the correct password. This would provide a better authentication experience
for users on ChromeOS devices.
