Bug#748729: gnome-online-accounts: Uses system-modal dialogs for remote passwords

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: normal

(I am not 100% sure this is the correct package, feel free to re-assign.)

I am using the Gnome 3 desktop, and I regularly (once or twice a week)
get a system modal dialog asking me for the password of a remote
account (which one is actually unclear, since only the email address is
shown, which could be used as an account name in several places). Since
these are not passwords needed to access the current system, it does not
make sense to require the user to be able to type these by heart, and in
fact I cannot since I use Revelation avoid having to remember them.
