PAS has a standard method to indicate that credentials have been changed
("updateCredentials" or something like this).

If it is used (and the plugins set up correctly), then the
"Unauthorized" should not happen -- provided the password change
is at an appropriate place (the "updateCredentials" assumes to
be called in the normal request -- not somewhere during traversal).
