Prompt for google password when already authenticated

[Erik Hetzner]

I use 2-factor authentication with my google account. I am able to use the online accounts settings to authenticate successfully, syncing contacts. However, gnome occassionally prompts me for my google password. If I use my password, it doesn't work (presumably because of the 2-factor auth), so I just cancel. It doesn't seem to make a difference, but it is a bit annoying.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirmed. It is very annoying.

I think this may be related to 2-step authentication in google, plus evolution data server. I disabled google as "Use for: calendar" in the "Online Accounts" settings and set up a google calendar sync via evolution directly. So far it is working.

[Erik Hetzner (egh)]

Maybe not; I got the dialog again after a reboot.

[Erik Hetzner (egh)]

Pretty sure this is coming from evolution. Deleting all google calendars from evolution fixes it.

I believe this is bug 1175122.
