Bug Description

I've had a Twitter account set up in Ubuntu Online Accounts since I installed Quantal beta 2. Since a couple of days ago, the account loses access and access has to be granted again. It then works for a variable amount of time until it loses access again and the "shutdown" menu in the top panel turns red to tell me there is a problem with online accounts.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a Twitter account and authorise it,
2. Close Ubuntu Online Accounts,
3. After a variable amount of time, the "shutdown" menu in the top right of the screen turns red, Online Accounts is highlighted,
4. Click on Online Accounts: the Twitter account shows an error mark next to it and a message saying access needs to be granted appear,
5. Grant access to the account,
6. Repeat at step 3.

Same here, I have to re-grant access to twitter every 1-2 days. Doesn't happen with the facebook and google accounts.

I am experiencing this problem on Ubuntu-Online-Accounts for twitter rather than GOA.
