+### Retry inputs

+-   `retries`: (Optional) Number of times to retry a failed authentication
+    attempt. This is useful for automated pipelines that may execute before IAM
+    permissions are fully propogated or intermittent connectivity failures. The
+    default value is "3".

+-   `backoff`: (Optional) Delay time before trying another authentication
+    attempt. This is implemented using a fibonacci backoff method (e.g.
+    1-1-2-3-5). This value defaults to 250 milliseconds.
+
+-   `backoff_limit`: (Optional) Limits the retry backoff to the specified value.

     For this to work, you need to make sure that `attribute.repository_owner` is mapped in your attribute mapping (see previous step).
