Description
Currently, when the client starts, if it fails to log in via the system key ring, it immediately opens a popup window that redirects you to your web browser to grant access to the client. I get that this is useful for most people, but it is incredibly frustrating that one cannot turn it off. Often I am simply too slow at unlocking my key ring, the Nextcloud client times out, and _interrupts me typing my password_ by opening a browser window and pulling focus to it. If it had waited like five seconds longer, it could have pulled the access token from my key ring, but instead I now have to grant access manually, then start typing my key ring password again because the popup window interrupted me.
A very simple solution would be a checkbox that disables the automatic popup after the timeout. It would be far less annoying if I sometimes had to manually click the "log in" button in the Nextcloud client window after unlocking my key ring.
I am surprised that this is not a problem for more people. Am I just exceptionally slow at typing passwords?
