Link to problem area: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.10/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3accountpassword or https://spec.matrix.org/v1.10/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3accountdeactivate, for example, but it will be clearer in v1.11.

Issue
As brought up in #1843 (comment), the "Requires authentication" line for endpoints is only for whether an access token is required or not. However some endpoints like /password and /deactivate do not require an access token but require authentication via UIAA.

The phrasing could be changed to something like "Requires access token", for example.
