I'm not using 2-factor auth, and the problem was resolved for me by following Bruno's suggestion, i.e. removing the old googletalk/jabber account item, and creating/using a new google account item instead (same username and password).
It seems like the bug is that previously-created google talk accounts just don't migrate successfully to the online accounts feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069531 Title: Cannot login to Empathy after setting up Google online account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1069531/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
