BUG: keeps asking to authenticate when restarting Thunderbird

[Stefan Mueller]

I connected to two different gmail accounts.

At each restart of Thunderbird, it asks me authenticate again for one of those accounts.

[Stefan Mueller]

it could be related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1154256 but I don't use  KeeFox

[Peter Mello]

I've been experiencing the same behavior since v60b6 was released. I have to say it's becoming extraordinarily tedious. Anything I can do to help debug it?

[Stefan Mueller]

forgot to say.

I would happy to help debugging

Fix

REMOVE all the calendars in tbird by unsubscribing.  You may have only one left over, but we'll fix that in a moment

Add a new calendar.  Network, google.......blah blah

You'll need to enter your credentials, but that should be the last time

Remove the leftover calendar from step 1

It should work now...........at least it did for me.

I have the same problem, but your solution didn't work for me.

I also would help solving the problem.

Linux Mint is my OS.

[Jeffrey Flaker]

Linux or Windows??

go to tools/addons then in the addon manager go to preferences/Web Content/exceptions and up date the google.com to accounts.google.com and restart  tbird. It seems the cookies google wants have moved and the provider isnt updating it.

[Stefan Mueller]

there isn't any preferences/Web Content/exceptions

I have the same problem as described and I am very sorry, that nobody answered to the last post of Stefan Mueller.

Are there any other solutions?

Still seems to be a problem.  I suspect the solution lies in getting a Google AppPassword into the provider.  But I haven't figured out how to do that yet.  It's a real pain, as once I forgot to bring my phone into the office to do the 2FA dance.  Luckily I has generated some one-time passwords.  It's just a bug, plain and simple, if Thunderbird can manage me email, Provider should be able to manage my calendar with the same security. code.

what shall be the place for the leading discussion. 

This thread or the bug report on bugzilla?

I would prefer second.

[Gary J. Toth]

I don't see this.  I installed Nodejs thinking that might help.  No help. 

[Gary J. Toth]

I've installed NodeJS thinking that would give me some sort of access.  But, no other menu items in Provider options or Add-on options.

Hi all,

can you enable debugging and check for error console messages?

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Enabling_Debugging

The linked bug report is only for those that have the password manager disabled.
