Nextcloud version _(eg, 10.0.2)_:11.0.2  
Operating system and version _(eg, Ubuntu 16.04)_: I don’t know  
Apache or nginx version _(eg, Apache 2.4.25)_: I don’t know  
PHP version _(eg, 5.6)_:7.0  
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?:yes

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps): Trying to (re)activate, install or remove apps, I am being asked for password. Its correct, but it keeps asking again and again and again.

The issue you are facing:

I installed nextcloud on my [all-inkl.com](http://all-inkl.com) webspace. Everything worked fine. Today a message showed up, telling me about a new version. I started the update and installed v11.0.2

During update I was told, that some 3rd party apps were deactivated. I tried to re-activate them when I was asked for my password. I typed in my password and nothing happened. After a few seconds nextcloud asks for password again. And again and again. No matter how many times I type in my password, nothing happens (besides being asked again).

But the password is correct. I logged out and used it to login again. I even changed it several times. But I still can’t activate any apps or create new users.

The output of your Nextcloud log in **Admin \> Logging** :
