Happened to me yesterday, I was baffled but then I found that you can request the one time password just using the email associated with the LinkedIn account, so the password wasn't compromised

It's amusing to watch
It doesn't change the point for Google docs & co, it's just a refresh of the UI not a breakthrough update with new features if I'm reading the news that you have posted
