[Bug 1605218] [NEW] Google account login using 2FA isn’t remembered across sessions
Public bug reported:
This has been reliably reproduced on desktop and a phone running
webbrowser-app 0.23+16.04.20160711-0ubuntu1 (and oxide
1.15.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1).
Steps to reproduce:
1) wipe your session data (make a backup first if you care) by removing ~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/
2) launch webbrowser-app
3) browse to https://mail.google.com
4) log in with an account that uses 2FA (I’m testing with a @canonical.com address)
5) read your e-mails
6) close the browser window
7) launch webbrowser-app again
Expected result: you’re back to your inbox, logged in and ready to work
Actual result: google prompts you for your e-mail address. Once entered,
the login happens automatically, there is no need to do the 2FA dance
again.
