Using firebase login --reauth fixed the issue. Would be great to have a more developer friendly error message.

@nilsreichardt - if you would like to open a PR, here is how I would do it

1. Create an exception here for the reauth use case: https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/blob/main/packages/flutterfire_cli/lib/src/common/strings.dart#L130-L131
2. check response code here: https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/blob/main/packages/flutterfire_cli/lib/src/firebase.dart#L542
3. throw this specific exception, write a message about how to solve it.
