Update credentials directly from any screen where incorrect password errors can occur

natejgardner

It'd be great if, upon receiving an authentication error, especially when creating a new dataset or trying to view a dataset, I could update my password directly from the dataset screen. Since my organization requires frequent password changes across many databases, I'm often running into this error message when creating a new dataset, and it breaks my flow when I need to switch to the connections screen and update passwords. I'd love to be able to just enter my new password as soon as I get the error so I don't lose my train of thought or have to re-enter a dataset configuration. In the attached screenshot, imagine if next to the retry button there were an "update credentials" button. Clicking it could pop up a modal window, allowing credentials to be updated and tested without ever leaving the page.
