Yes, although I would prefer that the solution would be more
comprehensive and allow users to make first-time *authenicated*
connections instead of retrying (with a subsequent prompt for
the password) only after a first-time *unauthenicated* connection
failure.
This would better solve this issue and for bug#26359 as well.
