/**
 * Thrown if an authentication request is rejected because the credentials are not
 * sufficiently trusted.
 * <p>
 * {@link org.springframework.security.access.AccessDecisionVoter}s will typically throw
 * this exception if they are dissatisfied with the level of the authentication, such as
 * if performed using a remember-me mechanism or anonymously. The
 * {@code ExceptionTranslationFilter} will then typically cause the
 * {@code AuthenticationEntryPoint} to be called, allowing the principal to authenticate
 * with a stronger level of authentication.
