Description

Just changed my nextcloud login password and after that the web extension showed for all websites with saved logins that there are no logins available.

Is there any error handling if the login to nextcloud fails after it was already saved?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue after changing the Nextcloud password server-side, then trace how the extension handles a failed Nextcloud login when saved logins are requested. Done means the extension recognizes the authentication failure and provides an appropriate error or reauthentication path instead of showing no logins.
