  • This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.

  • I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Steps to reproduce

Users are regularly locked out of the cloud completely when they have got a brandnew Android.

This situation occurs regularly when users purchase a new Android device and then attempt to set it up.

The nextcloud.log is then regularly flooded with “Login failed” messages until all cloud security mechanisms kick in and the user is completely locked out of the cloud.

It should be noted that in this case, several IPS are used in addition to the usual Nextcloud brute force protection.

This requires very complex and time-consuming user sessions (such as "decommission the old Android, redo the synchronization, etc.).
Such users are also often completely disabled by Nextcloud.

Now the main question: Is there a way for the admin to speed up this process—for example, by “kicking old Android devices out” of the cloud so that they no longer disrupt operations?

Thanks in adv. for your time !

more Admin control to support users regading Android devices
