If you set a credentials provider, it's your credentials provider that
has to detect that the password was already tried unsuccessfully. The
HttpClient cannot know where the passwords come from and that it wasn't
a user that re-entered the same password after having a phone call with
the server administrator to unlock the password.
The retry counter is for internal retries due to communication failures,
not for password authentication.

hope that helps,
