Description
At the moment, it's fairly common to see a secret storage passphrase / key request dialog at somewhat random / unexpected moments, and the UI currently doesn't help things because the modal doesn't give any suggestion of **why** such an important thing is being requested.
We should revise the UI to show a reason for the request, and then ensure all paths have meaningful reason text.
