 1. while logged in go to wp-admin/authorize-application.php. With this url
 there is not application name/id and therefor it should just be denied as
 in the admin side when adding application password you must specify an
 application name. A message like "an application must supply an
 application name, contact the application's author with this information"
 should be displayed to the user.

 2. On the admin side add an application password for an application "app".
 Now go to wp-admin/authorize-application.php?app_name=app. Even at this
 point any further steps should be denied as the application already exist,
 and the user should be directed to his his account to revoke the corrent
 password if it wants to reauthenticate the application.
 In the current behaviour user clicks "Yes I approve..." only to get a very
 user hostile message that tells him what the code checks instead of
 telling him what steps he should take.

 Now that I look at it while trying to add the same app twice on the admin
 side I see that the same message is used there, but from the context it is
 much easier to get what the problem is (although that message can probably
 be improved as well)
