I just wanted to add that I have been experiencing this bug in several distros, each with their own version of goa. Email works fine, but the calendar component has issues:
Debian Wheezy (goa 3.4.2): I get a password prompt twice when I log in, but after that authentication is successful Ubuntu 14.04 (goa 3.10.3): Authentication fails completely Gentoo with (goa 3.12.4): Authentication fails completely All three of these started *at the same time*, around the beginning of August. I think Google may have changed something for all versions of goa to break at the same time. I do not know what that something could be though. Also note that if I use evolution to add a calendar in Ubuntu 14.04 or Gentoo without using goa, the calendar authenticates fine. Here is the bug on GNOME's bugzilla. No word from any upstream devs yet, unfortunately. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734298 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #734298 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734298 -- 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.
