Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you want to connect the Nextcloud Android App to your account, the app shows a button to scan a QR code. However, it does not explain where I can find this QR code in the nextcloud web interface and the QR code is very hidden in the nextcloud web interface.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want 2 things:
- the app should explain where I can find the QR code
- the QR code should be easily accessible in the web interface. I expect it to be under "Mobile & Desktop" and "Security". As the QR code encodes a newly generated App password, there could be a button named "connect Nextcloud Android / iOS app using QR code", which generates a QR code and displays it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
My solution was to google where I can find this QR code.

Research direction
Start by locating the Android app's QR-scan explanation and the web interface sections labeled "Mobile & Desktop" and "Security". Review how the existing QR code and newly generated app-password flow is exposed; done means the app explains where to find the code and the web interface provides an accessible connection action.
