Currently the settings synchronization dialog provides two options for the user, synchronize and reset. When clicking synchronize, the user is asked to provide a password given the nature of the change. However, there is no confirmation that the synchronization happened. Ideas to help this would be to add a timestamp of when was the last time the synchronization happened. Provide a dialog that shows confirmation that the synchronization was successful. I think either of these would be good.
