I'm having the same problem here. It starte started a few weeks ago (i.e. it worked at the beginning). I'm seeing this on two machines running 14.4 LTS 64bit.
Steps to reproduce: 1) open gnome-online-accounts 2) click + and add a google account 3) enter user name and password 4) confirm permissions for gnome 5) Black window pops up and asks for google password, but does not accept the correct password. Google Contacts are not available in Gnome or Thunderbird ** Changed in: gnome-online-accounts (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353951 Title: gnome online accounts require autentication on startup Status in “gnome-online-accounts” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Gnome online accounts requires autentication on startup, but even typing the correct password in the box, the program says the password is wrong. By the way evolution and other programs work well with online accounts. I'm using Ubuntu-gnome 14.04 LTS 64bit on different machines and have the same behaviour. Just to be clear: online-accounts works well, just at startup it opens an "administration" window where it requires to insert the password for my google accounts; if I type the correct password it says that the password is wrong, the only way to close the window is to click on "discard" and then all works well.
