### Bug description

When we configure an account in the client and it takes us to the authentication URL, if we do not enter data, it waits forever consuming server resources.
There should be a time limit (10 minutes for example) and after that time the process should be cancelled.
This is a BUG because each client could be making requests "indefinitely".

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open client
2. Add new account
3. Wait indefinitely

### Expected behavior

Authentication process timeout
