Description
Hello,
When I want to set a password for a share, I only get the error message “failed to update share”, but not why this did not work.
However, the solution is in the log file, but you can't see it as a normal user.
“The password must be at least 10 characters long. The password is included in the list of compromised passwords. Please choose a different password. ”
The error message should be adjusted, or the cause should be displayed directly below the password input field.
I am using Nextcloud 30.0.4

Research direction
Start by reproducing the password-setting flow for a share in Nextcloud 30.0.4 and compare the visible error with the detailed message in the log file. Done means the password validation cause, such as minimum length or compromised-password rejection, is shown to the user near the password input or in the error message.
