Google credentials for calendar permissions asked on every startup of Thunderbird: Thunderbird 31.4.0 with Lighting 3.3.3 and Provider for Google Calender 1.0.3

[Alexander Nardai]

When I start Thunderbird, there is a popup window for every calendar I have. I can login here and allow the provider for google calendar.

But I have to do this every time Thunderbird is restarted, otherwise there is no access on the calendars.

I already uninstalled Lightning and provider, then revoked the google permission and reinstalled everything. No success yet.

Same problem. How to fix?

Hi Alexander, Ryan,

could you try removing any related entries in the password manager before re-subscribing to the calendars? Please also ensure you've upgraded to 1.0.4.

Philipp, 

Thanks for your help. Actually, I have upgraded to 1.0.4, which could be a cause to this problem because it occurred just a few days ago. 

Following your tips, I removed all entries in the password manager, and then re-subscribed to the calendars, but then, it brought me to there https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/provider-for-google-calendar/NTzpPimNHTs. "No Calendars or tasks in the selection box" Wait for a solution. Thanks.

Same problem here. Just started today. I tried un-installing Provider, deleting calender-data files and re-installing. No improvement. Suggestions?

Same here on a fresh installation of lightning 3.3.3 + google calender provider 1.0.4, very annoying...

I have the same problem: Everytime I start Thunderbird, it is asking for password of the two google accounts I use calendars for, but never acknowledge the password... keeps asking. The calendars are not displaying any event/meeting when the should be plenty. I can still read/write emails on those google email accounts in thunderbird without any problem. Only the Calendars are affected. I use Provider for Google Calender 1.0.3, Lightning 3.3.3 and Tunderbird 31.7.0.

Hmm looks like this is happening more often lately, unfortunately I'm not getting this myself :-/

* Do you use 2-Factor Authentication?
* Do you have a master password set up in Thunderbird?

Also, can you enable debugging and either email me the logs or post here? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Enabling_Debugging

I'd be interested in the messages recieved just before the password prompt shows up.

I do not use 2-Factor-Authentication but a friend of mine with the same problems.

No master Password in Thunderbird is set.

I can still use the calendars, but sometimes it takes a while when changing something something.

I will check debugging. If I understand how to do it I will post it.

Thanks a lot!

Same here. Just installed the provider. It is not asking for authentication on 2 of my 3 machines, Thunderbird 38.2.0, Lightning 4.0.2, Provider 1.0.4 across the board.

Same problem as reported here, really...

Also, in my case, Keefox has been updated(1.5.3), and now stores and uses OAuth credentials, so it at least fills in the prompt for credentials that Provider appears to be causing...
