Network error while setting up account

Bug report

Yesterday I set up a filelink for Nextcloud just fine and used it once. Today, when using it, it suddenly reported that it was "unauthorized", but clicking "authorize" in the settings did nothing for me.

Then I deleted the account and tried to set it up again, again it did not work, restarted thunderbird and again to no avail.

Verified that my Nextcloud is up and running, also checked whether there are any signs that the extension tries to contact the server, but there is nothing in the webserver log or in the server log.

The Thunderbird console says:

Nextcloud	ERROR	Could not retrieve password

I set up the same Nextcloud account again, only this time under a different domain, under which my nextcloud is also available. This time no network error.

So it seems like the actual problem was in the next line where it says ... Nextcloud ERROR Could not retrieve password ...

Just not understanding why. After all, I entered the password yesterday. And this time, when the addon cannot retrieve the password again, why doen't it prompt for one?

Also, I use the same nextcloud instance for calendar and contacts (TB addons Lightning and CardBook), and they don't have any problems.

I am seeing an identical issue in version 1.7

Same here with v1.7. Although the click on the button "authorize" succeeds and the details are shown correctly, Thunderbird displays an error in the JS console?!
