[Bug 1726922] Re: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password
Deleting files in ~/.config is suboptimail in my case; I have very few applications installed and already have 122 objects in .config.

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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calendar in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726922 Title: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1726922/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1726922] Re: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password
Doug that's exactly what the bug says and why I filled it, you are not being asked for the auth code simply because there is a bug in the login. I filled the bug, the annoyance is because the application is asking for a password it doesn't need. My feeling is that it is using some remanent pre-update account. In response Sebastian Bacher, I don't believe it's an upstream bug, since is generated in the upgrade process, I think the accounts were ill transformed in the upgrade process, either way I generated a bug report in gnome-calendar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- calendar/+bug/1726922 ** Description changed: 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= - PATH=(custom, user) - LANGUAGE=es_UY:es - LANG=es_UY.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= + 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) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calendar in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726922 Title: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1726922/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1726922] Re: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password
Could it be that I had previously allowed me in due to having performed the second auth before the upgrade? Aside from that, it's possible I performed the auth during the initial stages of the upgrade and don't remember now. That said, it just seemed strange and potentially relevant that I am repeatedly asked for my Google account login without being asked for an auth code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calendar in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726922 Title: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1726922/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1726922] Re: gnome-calendar keeps asking for my google password
doug are you sure you didn't allow it in online accounts settings? That's the account and authorization used by calendar, I have 2 factor authentication and when I set it up in online accounts it asked me for the second face auth. There's no way an app can access your calendar or other info if you have two factor authentication in google.
