When configuring the secure storage, the password is sometimes asked

[odelcroi]

Steps to reproduce :

• configure secure storage from an account that does not have neither xs or ss
• at the end of the procedure the password is prompted

What we'd like

• do not ask password as the user is already authenticated

It has been mentioned by Element. It seems that a "grace period" exists where no password is asked after a login. out from this period, the password is asked.

In recent element-web upgrade, there is a grace period of 5 minutes where the password is cached locally, we could use it if needed : https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/10208
