issue: User Password change causes mass failed login attempts and locks account

[JaydenMaalouf]

Describe the issue If a user ever changes their password (via AD or Jira) - the plugin will not pick up that there has been a change and will attempt to login several times. We experienced about 600 attempts over the over the course of 24hours for a single account.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup Jira for VS
2. Use it as normal
3. Update user password (in our case - via AD)
4. Watch the user's login attempts sky rocket and the account to be locked out

Expected behavior A failed login attempt should prompt the user to re-authenticate with Jira.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. The plugin don't retry after a failed login, anyway I will check the code. :+1:
