@skjnldsv were there reasons for the choice of 7s? sounds indeed too quick. Especially, if you perhaps first need to copy from your password manager.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/3826 (Password confirmation fails on some settings), https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/8785 (Password expiration), https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/3416 (admin password confirmation problem), https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/2395 (Cancel password confirmation on settings toggles checkbox state), and https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/8464 (Request: allow weak passwords on shared folders after confirmation).

Persists in 14.01 too. Need more time to enter admin password. I have to race it now, and I don't always win. This is silly. 15 seconds would be a significant upgrade, but frankly, waiting a whole 30 seconds before you bounce this would not be a security risk.

Otherwise, it's a low hanging fruit for an open source contribution https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/settings/src/store/api.js#L89 :)

Duplicate of #11224

Is there any plan to solve this? This is seriously annoying when having to copy long passwords from password managers, and when managing users.

Fixed with Nextcloud 14.0.4. Check https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/11224 for more details.
