Avoid reattempting authentication for auth versions where it has no effect

[tobgu]

There are circumstances where the automatic authentication retry causes confusion and unexpected behaviour.

For example when the password is entered by a human and mistyped. If the underlying authentication system causes the user to be blocked after X attempts this will happen sooner than expected (after X/2 attempts).

This PR limits the retry to only happen for versions where it may have any actual positive effect (v2).
