Description
Expected behaviour
- I open the app after an update and the app is still logged in
Actual behaviour
- I got a error message that was very cryptic (should be shown far better for everyday usage and not contain technical terms)
It was:
Fehler: 404, During the function request: upload the server responded with error 404 password re-entry is required
It maybe should:
This account is not authenticated anymore. Please authenticate again.
Also there is no way to know which account is affected, because the URL is not shown - nor the account name that was not authenticated.
App version
3.0.0 (41)
Maybe @nextcloud/designers for UI help.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the update flow in the iOS app using version 3.0.0 (41), then trace where the shown 404/password re-entry error is presented. Done means the message uses everyday language and identifies the affected account or URL without exposing technical error details.
