    Reauthentication

    A flow that asks the user for new credentials when a config entry can no longer log in, without setting it up again.

    In code
    async_step_reauthConfigEntryAuthFailed
    Also
    reauth

    When a password changes or a token expires, the integration raises ConfigEntryAuthFailed. Home Assistant then asks the user to log in again, and keeps everything else of the config entry as it is.
