i have the same issue i think.

since upgrading to raring my gmail account credentials have been broken.

i now get "GDBus.Error:org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Error.NotAuthorized: Did not find password with username `<email address hidden>' in credentials" when checking mail.

i can't remove or edit the account from evolution because its some kind of dbus thing.

i tried removing and restoring the account from online accounts in System settings but no change.

i tried to edit the passwords in seahorse but couldn't make any sense of it and was somewhat shocked that it shows the
passwords without needing any password to unlock. I really don't want this behaviour its dangerous.

i really don't want to recreate the mail account , it has gigs of mail.

im not happy with this way of doing things its not what i use linux for.

this would be less of a problem if instead of just reporting a lack of password that it would prompt me for a new one.
