WRONG_PASSWORD

401auth

The current password on a change-password call is wrong.

Cause

Change-password re-authenticates with the existing password before applying the new one, and that check failed.

How to fix it

Re-prompt for the current password, or run the forgot-password flow instead. Repeated attempts trip the rate limiter.
