This code is intented to give you a chance to reenter a password, when
you have mistyped it. And yes, it is unfortune that it forces you to
enter the password for other remote processes, again.

I'll check what could be done. Simply removing this code, and hoping
that the `tramp-clear-passwd' call in `tramp-process-actions' would do
the job, does not work. So we need to rearrange the code for that purpose.

Will check.

Best regards, Michael.
