Issue Summary
If you attempt to authenticate using basic authentication with a password, or an invalid token, you get the below error message in return, which returns an invalid link to the deprecation notice:
Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated. For more information, see: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-with-passwords-for-jira-and-confluence-apis-972355348.html
The link redirects you to Atlassian Cloud Documentation blog posts instead: (https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/blog)
Steps to Reproduce
