I think that's what I meant. Why is the new system better than the old one? There was a lot of FUD on reddit around it and I stopped following the news. Thanks for update.

The line of thinking was that people are used to email+password (as oppose to what was before). I think that was the right move.

The system is still end-to-end encrypted, if you reset your password it will also reset the storage (by definition).

> reset the storage

Does that mean you lose your history when you change your password? Or just that you need to use the new password to access (old and new) data?

You lose the data that's stored on Mozilla's server, but since it's a synchronization service, you should have a complete local (unencrypted) copy which can then just be encrypted with the new key and re-uploaded to their server.
