[Bug 1463376] Re: Google account needs re-authorization

 

Hi Ville, thanks for reporting this bug. Can you please tell me what
version of Ubuntu you are using?

Also, when you go to reauthorize the account, and you click on the
"Grant authorization" button, what do you see? Could you please take a
screenshot of that window and attach it to this bug report?

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.
