Encryption passphrase regenerates when you switch apps

• This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
• I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
• 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

When setting up encryption, the app creates and shows you a new passphrase. If you decide to copy the passphrase and then paste it into a password manager, then come back to the app, it will then create a new passphrase, different from the one you pasted into your password manager, leading to the encryption passphrase being lost.

Expected behaviour

After the passphrase dialog appears, I would expect the passphrase to not change until I click cancel and then "set up encryption" again.

Actual behaviour

Any time you switch apps and come back the passphrase gets recreated.

@yuvraj-kumar-dev Unfortunately I don't have the ability to assign people to this issue, as I am not a maintainer.
