The issue affects, in particular, the pay-ui. After buying an app in the
store, users cannot buy a 2nd app, because we fail to re-authorize them
with a password prompt.

Correction: the impact is limited to users who have changed their passwords (like on login.ubuntu.com) or who get their token invalidated by other means (removal of the app access in https://login.staging.ubuntu.com/+applications).
