Using Nextcloud v11.0.5, and Nautilus on Ubuntu Xenial. In the past I was able to connect to the Nextcloud share via a URL like davs://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USER/. However, I’m now using the (very handy) two-factor authentication offered by Nextcloud. Nautilus, of course, doesn’t prompt me for the second factor, so I just get denied every time. I can of course generate a token for this, but does anyone know of a way to get Nautilus to prompt me for my second-factor?
Have you tried using an App password? I use webdav with Keepass and the app password works fine. Just be careful, if you change your main password all your app passwords invalidate.

I’ve been having trouble with this myself. Fyi, you can generate passwords for multiple apps supported at a time. Just add each app name with a comma, eg.
Files,Activity

Yeah that’s what I meant by “token.” I’ve not tried this, but I’m pretty certain it would work. Thing is, I don’t want to check the “remember this password forever” box, I want it to prompt me every time I access the share. That’s not really the best use for tokens, given that they’re random and Nextcloud (rightly) won’t show them to you after you create them. I guess I could put it in a password manager, but just using 2fa would be a better experience. Of course, if that’s not possible then it’s not possible
