Device-specific passwords and password changes
----------------------------------------------
The behaviour of device-specific passwords during changes of the main password
changed in different versions of Nextcloud.
Up to Nextcloud 13
Device-specific passwords are removed on password change and also are
removed once they are not valid anymore if an external user backend is
used.
Nextcloud 14
For local user backend the device-specific passwords are updated properly
and continue to work. For external user backends (like LDAP/AD) the
device-specific passwords are still removed.
Starting with Nextcloud 15
For password changes in external user backends the device-specific passwords
are marked as invalid and once a login of the user account with the main
password happens all device-specific passwords are updated and work again.
