@nextcloud/password-confirmation

Promise-based password confirmation for Nextcloud.

This library exports a function that displays a password confirmation dialog when called and returns a promise. This makes it easier to integrate with other asynchronous operations.

Versions compatibility

@nextcloud/password-confirmation	Maintained	Nextcloud	@nextcloud/vue
6.x	✅	30+	9.x (Vue 3) ¹
5.x	✅	28-31	8.x
2.x - 4.x	❌	25-27	7.x
1.x	❌	< 25	-

¹: In version 6.x the @nextcloud/vue dependency is moved to dependencies so you can also use this library with an old version of @nextcloud/vue in your app dependencies if your app still uses Vue 2. Note that this might increase the bundled app size. If your app also already uses @nextcloud/vue version 9.x and Vue 3 then the bundle size will not increase.
