UI Horror: Login... Again

By Eric

I use Office 365 with the web version of Outlook at work. At some point, I'll notice that the browser tab has changed appearance, and click on it to find that I've been logged out. No worries, there's a prompt right there for my password to renew my session. Soon I'll be able to again get the emails saying the corporate Spam filter has blocked all of the messages coming from Sentry, while letting through essential ads for toenail clippers.

After entering my password, I'm rewarded with this:

Validation Error

Now I need to re-enter the password that I just entered, apparently because I didn't notice that I had been logged out quickly enough and the authorization flow has expired. Thanks for that.
