Simon L. 495247ae4a standardize occ command documentation
Use `sudo -E -u www-data php occ` everywhere.
Motivation: this should work on more appliances like also inside docker containers.

App passwords
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
App passwords allow users to authenticate multiple client applications against their Nextcloud account without giving the application the login password. App passwords are mandatory for accounts with :ref:`two-factor authentication<two-factor-auth>` enabled.
Some clients support *remote wipe*, which makes the connected application delete its local data.
.. _authentication-app-password-clean-up:
Automated clean-up
******************
.. versionadded:: 30
Nextcloud will delete unused passwords. Passwords set for *remote wipe* are deleted after 60 days of no usage. App passwords of client applications are deleted after 365 days of no usage.
The time spans can be overwritten with configuration::
sudo -E -u www-data php occ config:system:set token_auth_wipe_token_retention --type=int --value 2592000 # 60*60*24*30 - 30 days
sudo -E -u www-data php occ config:system:set token_auth_token_retention --type=int --value 63072000 # 60*60*24*365*2 - 2 years
Values are set in **seconds**.
