Title:
  Google account needs re-authorization

Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have set up a Google account in Online Accounts app. Every few weeks
  there is a notification that applications can no longer access it and
  it needs re-authorization.  I don't know if this is by design.

  When I set up the account, Ubuntu should remember it forever until I
  disable the account or change my credentials in Google.

  It is bad usability that the account must be re-authorized and causes
  users not to use the feature. I understand this increases security,
  but mandatory re-authorization every few weeks is way too often from
  user's point of view.
