I just stumbled upon this same issue. I guess it might be related to Google's ongoing crackdown against using embedded webviews for authentication: https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/better-protection-against-man-in-middle.html https://developers.googleblog.com/2016/08/modernizing-oauth-interactions-in-native-apps.html The official recommended way to handle authentication is to open a full-blown browser so that people can reuse signed-in accounts and stored passwords. I suppose KGAPI will need to be adjusted to launch a browser. Until that happens, you can do it manually as a workaround: Steps: 1.-4. See above. 5. A window opens asking you to sign in to Google. Select and copy the full URL in the address bar of this window. Leave the window open but do not interact with it further. 6. Open a new tab in your favourite browser. Paste the URL copied in Step 5 to the address bar and navigate to it. 7. A page opens asking you to sign in to Google. Sign in and confirm granting necessary permissions to Akonadi. 8. Your main browser should now be redirected to a blank page at 127.0.0.1:some_random_port_number. This passes the authentication tokens to Akonadi behind the scenes. The Akonadi sign-in window opened in Step 5 should now automatically disappear. Once that happens, you can close this blank tab in your main browser.
(In reply to Tomas Trnka from comment #1) Confirming this workaround. Thx!
We have since moved to browser-based authentication so users should no longer see this warning as long as they use a reasonably up-to-date browser.
