After 12 years I have discovered a new LO warning message.
It appears as in a bar above the module workspace and reads:
"The master password is stored in an outdated format, you should refresh
it" with a "Refresh Password" button. It appears on opening any module.
See: https://www.mediafire.com/view/o0toa0w0isku0td/LO_PW.png/file
The fix is simple, just blow away the user profile and start again.
This happened with LO 7.3.3.2 on a Win 10 Pro VM.

That's new code, and
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149127> "Add
help/info to Master Password refresh infobar" discusses whether it would
benefit from something like a "Help" button.

Thanks Stephan, but I don't understand why this appears in the only just
released LO 7.3.3.2 when the bug report suggests that Caolán's patch is
targeted at 7.4.

Additionally, why would a password be required for a new, never
previously saved document/spreadsheet/presentation/drawing?

For the record, see <https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2022-26307/> "CVE-2022-26307 Weak Master Keys" now that the embargo has been lifted.
