The point of retry is for auth failure, which can happen due to any reason. It 
is not just for a wrong password.

I was thinking just doing a single verification and failing, but did find some 
resources (not just browsers) which adopt this approach of retry.

BTW, Basic auth is gone now and Digest auth has some recommendations so I found 
its fine to do the same way as Digest auth does.
