Confusing prompts in "Change Master Password" flow

At the key moment of actually entering the new Master Password, 1P iOS 4.5.2RC1 asks for "Master Password" and "Change Master Password." This reads like you should enter the current MP followed by the proposed new MP. But in fact it means "New Master Password" and "Confirm New Password."

Complete workflow (attached images):

  • 1.PNG: 1P => Settings => Security Change Master Password

  • 2.PNG: Confirm Password Master Password

    • This page title is also confusing. Conventionally, "Confirm Password" is the label for the extra entry of the new password (as illustrated above).
      At this point you're not "confirming password," but rather "confirming identity." But the prompt (gray text in the text entry area) is good.

  • 3.PN: Master Password Master Password Change Master Password Password Hint

    • Here's the reported problem.
