Authentication failure does not lead to retries #285

Open dbenn opened 2 years ago

Reported by a CHOICE course participant when entering the wrong credentials for the APASS plugin.

Given the work on #375 for Auth0, authentication behaviour has changed.

However, entering the wrong authentication code for APASS and AAVSONet observation source plugins yields this error dialog:

or a simpler Login Failed dialog for discrepant reporting, with no option to retry.

The solution for now is to simply restart the initial operation requiring authentication, which is fine for APASS and AAVSONet, less convenient for discrepant reporting.

This issue can be revisited in future.
