The issue you are facing:

new nextcloud install, opens both web interfaces using passwords created at install. all works fine
but i cant install apps, or change my profile data,
when authorisation required pops up, non of my passwords will authenticate the changes

Steps to replicate it:

  2. select app
  3. authorisation pops up

The reauthorization password will be the same one you’re logged into (presumably an admin account). Can you try in a different browser?

Also check browser console and Nextcloud server logs for additional clues.

thanks for reply, made me think. I have solved the problem. turns out my default browser was edge. i was administering nextcloud in chrome. when i selected apps in nextcloud dashboard, it was opening the page in edge, i assume the authentication connection was lost because browsers were switched, i have made chrome default browser now and all works ok
