Suggests regenerating credential without telling you how
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to improve the 'Provided credentials are no longer valid for the Snap Store' error from snapcraft release to explain how to regenerate credentials (e.g. snapcraft login or docs link). No maintainer response; inactive for ~4 years.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has 0 comments, no assignee, and no maintainer acknowledgement (only an auto-style 'craft-1181' label), so it has never been assessed. It is a small UX improvement (adding a hint like 'snapcraft login' or a docs link to the 'Regenerate them and try again' message), but I could not verify whether that exact message still exists in the current snapcraft codebase, so a maintainer should confirm before closing or fixing.

Merged PR tweaking a different credential error message (SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS env var), showing maintainers do improve credential-related error wording, but it does not address this specific 'no longer valid' message.
