[Design] [Cosmo] Login-related workflows update

[Mimi Yin]

I'm going to attempt to table this discussion for now ;o) It will  
probably be more productive to have an in-person/over the phone  
meeting about this issue with all the people who care about it.

I have a feeling there is a mental model mismatch and a design  
process mismatch that is at the root of our misunderstanding.
