It is not informed consent if people don't understand what is happening, though.

Well, they consent to the fact that data is "synced" to Microsoft. That is the use case and the consent-able item. The password is just a random property of that item. And that is literally on the screen. That is broad but that is how privacy topics are generally handled.

I also do not like it.

If the data includes credentials but that isn't explicitly mentioned when asking for consent, I seriously hope that won't hold up before a judge.
I would not bet on that.
