Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Of note, we have to protect against people using
 `rest_authentication_errors` to report capability issues versus just
 reporting on the state of the authentication attempt. In other words
 Authentication vs Authorization. This is why we are specifically checking
 if that was an app passwords generated error.
