Bug Description
I am trying to export some pictures from Shotwell to my Picasa account. I select Picasa from the "publish" list, and push the button to authenticate. I am asked for password, which I enter. I am then told that "Authentication failed". Subsequent attempts go directly to "Authentication failed", and there is no apparent way to enter the password again.
(I thought this was due to me logging in with a non-gmail address, and it seemed to work when I changed to the gmail one, but now it fails again)
Further suggestions:
1) Shotwell should be more informative about the Authentication Failure, and report what exactly is wrong. I thought I had mistyped the password, and then it's frustrating not to be offered the opportunity to retype it.
2) The login dialog should offer a direct link or pointer to the accounts settings, now I need to select "Add an account" from the drop down.
3) Incidentally, removing accounts doesn't work, in the end I had to disable two (non-working) instances of Google account configurations.
Shotwell version 0.13.0-0ubuntu3, on Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.

Hi Ketil,
Are you using the Ubuntu Online Accounts control panel to set up your Google account or are you configuring it directly in Shotwell? Note that since you're running Quantal, unless you built and installed Shotwell from source, the default build of Shotwell that comes with Quantal has been patched downstream to use the Ubuntu Online Accounts system for Google authentication. Hence, this could be a bug either with Shotwell or with Ubuntu Online Accounts.
