Comment (by MarkDoliner):

 Comparing the two passwords DOES help a little bit: It takes a little
 longer to open accounts.xml than to just open the dialog and type in a new
 password.  Also, not everyone is aware that passwords are stored in
 accounts.xml so we would be thwarting at least a few casual idiots.  And
 yeah, if the password isn't stored at all then it buys us a lot more.

 No, it's not 100% perfect, but it does make a difference.
