+        If no auth flows have been completed successfully, raises an
+        InteractiveAuthIncompleteError. To handle this, you can use
+        synapse.rest.client.v2_alpha._base.interactive_auth_handler as a
+        decorator.
+
         Args:
             flows (list): A list of login flows. Each flow is an ordered list of
                           strings representing auth-types. At least one full
                           flow must be completed in order for auth to be successful.
+
             clientdict: The dictionary from the client root level, not the
                         'auth' key: this method prompts for auth if none is sent.
+
             clientip (str): The IP address of the client.
+
         Returns:
-            A tuple of (authed, dict, dict, session_id) where authed is true if
-            the client has successfully completed an auth flow. If it is true
-            the first dict contains the authenticated credentials of each stage.
+            defer.Deferred[dict, dict, str]: a deferred tuple of
+                (creds, params, session_id).
 
-            If authed is false, the first dictionary is the server response to
-            the login request and should be passed back to the client.
+                'creds' contains the authenticated credentials of each stage.
 
-            In either case, the second dict contains the parameters for this
-            request (which may have been given only in a previous call).
+                'params' contains the parameters for this request (which may
+                have been given only in a previous call).
 
-            session_id is the ID of this session, either passed in by the client
-            or assigned by the call to check_auth
+                'session_id' is the ID of this session, either passed in by the
+                client or assigned by this call
+
+        Raises:
+            InteractiveAuthIncompleteError if the client has not yet completed
+                all the stages in any of the permitted flows.
