I have a weird problem when I want to change settings in NoMachine.
I get the error: Authentication failed, please try again.

My password is working in the terminal, etc. On the second machine, I have the same configuration and don't have this error. I have researched the forum and the internet, trying different approaches like:

But I still get the same error. I have tried rebooting, restarting, and reinstalling NoMachine. Additionally, I noticed that I must log out with my Ubuntu by VNC when I connect with NoMachine, or else I get an extended desktop. Below is a step-by-step guide for how I installed NoMachine on my Ubuntu:
- I installed Ubuntu Server minimal, and then:
# 1. Update your package lists
sudo apt update
# 2. Install LXQt
sudo apt install lxqt
# 3. Install Xorg (if not installed)
sudo apt install xorg
# 4. Download NoMachine package
wget https://download.nomachine.com/download/8.5/Linux/nomachine_8.5.3_1_amd64.deb
# 5. Install NoMachine package
sudo dpkg -i nomachine_8.5.3_1_amd64.deb
# 6. Fix missing dependencies
sudo apt -f install
