MacOS permanently asks for Contacts-password

I assumed this is more a Nextcloud-topic. I asked the community there ten days ago but got no answer. If somebody here has an idea, I would appreciate that.

I integrated my Nextcloud Contacts into the Contacts app of macOS 12.7.5. This worked fine round about a year. Since a few weeks, macOS is permanently asking for the password. When I do provide it, the password seems to get accepted. But a minute later I am asked again, without an indication of a false entry.

This problem is true only with Contacts. I also synch Email, Calendar, Tasks and Notes. Those services are connected as several different accounts. Only the connection to Contacts is affected.

Logically, a new contact, created on my phone, appears in the cloud but not in macOS.

I use the Nextcloud Desktop-Client 3.13.2

New today: Entering the password leads to explicit denial every time.

Is it possible, that the Contacs-account uses a different password than E-Mail & Notes and Calender & Reminder? Those services still work flawless.

Remove and then add again your account. First thing to think about on macOS.
I should also warn you that this is a forum about /e/. We can support issues on /e/ devices or software provided by /e/. Our answer risk to be irrelevant, you better ask the nextcloud or apple communities.
