Regression from #7763 
Earlier regression which was fixed before #7626

In addition:
* get rid of `data-toggle` (refactor)
* show invalid login message if deleting account and entered incorrect password instead of redirect to 403
* remove unused reference to `r` parameter
* `forgetOpenCategories()` on login not on any crypto form

Even though this change was made, it's still possible to partially backdoor an account without providing the current password by setting API password or master authentication token.
Not sure how to solve this in the UI

first idea is to put profile page behind reauthentication and remove Current password field from Change password section

New idea:
Divide all authentication fields into separate forms/sections which would require entering the current password (on the profile page, where they are currently)

There is also the problem that it's harder for a user who had their account compromised to even know their API password/token changed, so even if they change the password, the attacker can still access the user's account.

Maybe there should be a date displayed of when the API password/token was last changed next to the fields?
