Here is the workaround for people coming into this bug with Two Factor Auth set. You need to generate an application specific password for the Google acct in "Online Accounts" from this page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
Google's full documentation on generating application specific passwords for applications that aren't compatible with MFA: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en I saw this as well, and set an app specific password to get around it, but it would be nice if I didn't have to use that workaround. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-calendar in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726922 Title: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password Status in gnome-calendar package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Once in a while, perhaps two or three times a day gnome-calendar pops up a dialog asking for my google password. I have two online google accounts set, but the problem begun after I upgraded from zesty, where I had those two accounts as well. They didn't appear in the new settings application, but still gnome- calendar was asking for the password. One of them has two phase authentication set and the other not. After I added the online accounts in the new settings app, the calendar is synchronized but it still popping the authentication window and is very annoying. bug report in gnome-calendar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1726922 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-calendar 3.26.2-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Oct 24 12:45:09 2017 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-calendar InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-14 (193 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> PATH=(custom, user) LANGUAGE=es_UY:es LANG=es_UY.UTF-8 SourcePackage: gnome-calendar UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2017-10-22 (1 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1726922/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
