Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: normal
(I am not 100% sure this is the correct package, feel free to re-assign.)
I am using the Gnome 3 desktop, and I regularly (once or twice a week)
get a system modal dialog asking me for the password of a remote
account (which one is actually unclear, since only the email address is
shown, which could be used as an account name in several places). Since
these are not passwords needed to access the current system, it does not
make sense to require the user to be able to type these by heart, and in
fact I cannot since I use Revelation avoid having to remember them.

Version: 3.50.0-1
This issue is fixed in newer versions of gnome-online-accounts which
now use the web browser for authentication instead of using a small
dialog powered by webkitgtk. This version of gnome-online-accounts
will be included in next year's new Debian stable release (Debian 13).
The exact issue mentioned in the original bug report may have been
fixed years ago.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
