[Feature Request] Better naming for "App-Password" in settings/personal

[mmattel]

Steps to reproduce

1. Goto settings/personal at the bottom to App-Passwords

Expected behaviour

The term App-Password has room for improvement.
Even it is a kind of password, it´s correct terminology would be token.
Because we already use password, I propose to write: App-Password (Token) instead (text change only)
Please see also #31101 (Improving token_auth_enforced description text in config.sample.php)
The location of change is in (L23 and L36):

core/settings/templates/panels/personal/tokens.php

Line 23 in 6f1cd04

<h2 class="app-name"><?php p($l->t('App passwords'));?></h2>

Actual behaviour

Server configuration

ownCloud version: (see ownCloud admin page) 10.0.7

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #8569 (Feature requests), #12530 (Feature Request), #4451 (feature request: increase user password strength), #5167 (Add "Repeat Password" field in personal settings), and #7341 ([FEATURE REQUEST] Force users to password protect shares as link).

In the client apps, the "token" value generated here is entered in the password field on the client app. There has been some usage of "device password" - but the "devices" out in the real world are smartphones/tablets... that run an app(s) on the device, and this password/token is entered into the app that is running on the device.

After having entered a few of these today in my phones/tablets while testing, from a user POV they seem like just an annoyingly long password to type into the app.

So I am inclined to keep calling them "app passwords".

Other opinions welcome!

I just want to highlight, that the password as "string" is once related to the term password and once with the term "token". Both are valid. Some apps will have the one, some the other term. I want to "link" these terms for all parties out here reducing confusion.
BTW, we have in config.sampe.php (see refrenced issue) also the term token...
(And the php script for this is named tokens.php)
