One way for the GUI to handle the current situation is to not take the
first AUTH_FAILED seriously (i.e keep the saved password) when
auth-token is in use. But I would consider that a hack.
In general it seems like it is rarely a good idea to just modify
user-entered information, especially without asking first. Many programs
like graphical sftp/ftp clients, web browsers, VNC and RDP clients, and
many others that I've seen over the years usually don't just up and
clear the saved password upon failure, but leave it up to the user to
update if needed. This seems to prevent problems like when an account
might be temporarily disabled/inaccessible, or maintenance/testing is
being performed making some/all accounts inaccessible, where it it will
resume working as it was before in the near future.
