We definitely need to do something to give users a heads-up.  I would be 
very surprised, and not very happy, if without any warning, an upgrade 
seemed to lose all my passwords.  I don't know how typical I am, but I 
have over a dozen mapped accounts, and I don't really know any of the 
passwords - I would have to look up each one in one of the (few) secure 
places they are stored.  Quite possible, but certainly annoying.  I 
would certainly want to know it's going to happen, and know it's for a 
good reason.

Perhaps some pop-up on needing a password telling why it might not be 
there if it used to be, and at least a pointer to instructions on how to 
migrate, if possible.
