Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open Talk
  2. Tap on Import account from the Nextcloud app
  3. Select the account to import
Expected behaviour

Select Log in at the OAuth screen and the apps should sync without having to write a new password

Actual behaviour

The OAuth screen blinks then disappears, and I'm prompted for my password.

I used the generated app password to log into the Nextcloud files app, which I cannot view once configured. I don't know if I'm expected to use that one at this point, but if so, I can't.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the import flow in Talk 18.0.1 on Android 14: open Talk, choose Import account from the Nextcloud app, select an account, and observe the OAuth screen. Compare the behavior with the expected flow, where selecting Log in completes synchronization without requiring a new password; no Android or server logs are provided.
