Some hints/remarks to the fix: * the initial repository-add dialogs have not been adjusted yet, they still ask for username and password, however those are not used. The username field is for LO's own distinguishing between different instances, but not used in the authentication. You can leave the password empty, it is not used to authenticate.
* to allow storing of the refresh token, you should enable persistent storage of credentials in Tools|Options → LO → Security → [x] allow persistent storage and [x] protect with master password. With that LO can store the refresh-token to use for further requests, and you only have to provide the master password. * With the persistent storage enabled, and trying to setup the connection for the first time, LO will ask for the masterpassword to look for an existing refresh token, on first setup there obviously won't be one so it will go to the login procedure: Copy'n'paste the link to your browser, grant LibreOffice the access to files → You will get an access token that you copy back to the LibreOffice dialog. LibreOffice will then ask once more for the masterpassword to store the refresh token obtained using the access-token. Also important: LO is not verified to use restricted scopes yet, so it can only use drive.file scope, meaning when accessing GDrive from LO you'll only see the files that you created with LibreOffice, other files will not be accessible (you will however be able to see the files created with LO in e.g. in your gdrive in browser) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1844453 Title: [upstream] Access to the Google remote account does not work Status in LibreOffice: In Progress Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Google account with 2FA login, from LibreOffice I try to add the remote account, but it doesn't work, it asks me for a 6-digit PIN.
