Description
Use existing password sync engine via sync-logins to stay compatible with desktop password format and quirks.
We either need to modify sync-logins to support an interface for the actual password store or create an additional layer to sync their password store with our app's settings store.
Depends on #8038

Research direction
Start by reading the existing password sync engine in components/logins and the sync-logins entry point in mobile/android/android-components/components/service/sync-logins. Review dependency #8038 and determine whether the required store interface or an additional synchronization layer fits the app's settings store. Done means password data remains compatible with the desktop format and its quirks.
