Proposed changes
Documentation improvement. It took me almost an hour to track down #2817 (comment) as the reason my private Docker registry was not working, because of the lack of any error message pointing to the cause.
Related issues (optional)
Relates to #2817, but does not really solve it. In my opinion, a full solution to that issue would involve Docker Registry outputting a relevant error message when the incorrect credential type is used, rather than silently accepting it and then failing all login attempts.
This is a copy of docker/docs#14544 since per docker/docs#14544 (comment) this repository has the official reference docs, and the others are deprecated / will be removed.
