Bug#1008916: [gnome-online-accounts] invalidated credentials

[Lyndon Brown]

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.44.0-1
Severity: serious

Please forgive me if I try to block the migration to testing
temporarily.

Some days ago when the big Gnome v42 update was pushed, for some reason
it invalidated the gmail credentials on both my machine and my mother's
(which I also have running Sid - please don't criticise). Whilst I was
able to log back into my own accounts, since I have 2FA and such
properly set up, my mother's primary account unfortunately was in a
much poorer state, and she is being blocked from regaining access to
her account by an impassible verification page, both in g-o-a and when
trying to alternatively log in via a web browser.

She is desperate to recover her gmail account and will be bringing her
computer over to me to look at within the next couple of days if things
go to plan. I intend to try downgrading g-o-a/evolution packages to
testing versions to see if the existing stored credentials will work
once more under those previous versions. If so then perhaps this may
help allow her to login through a webpage to set up better verification
info, or at least migrate the contents of her account to a new one.
