Calendar constantly requiring Google authentication on 17.10

I recently upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10.
The GNOME Calendar application displays a popup requesting my password for my linked Google account.
It does so whenever launched explicitly, and at times on its own.
When I type my (correct) password, the popup just reappears as if the password wasn't incorrect.
The only way to dismiss the popup is to press the Cancel button.
I can see my Gmail events in the calendar, so it does seem to sync.
I tried removing my Google account from Settings -> Online accounts and re-adding it, with no change.
If it's any help, I am using Google's two-factor authentication.
Also note that Thunderbird does not seem to have this issue.

I have seen someone that had multiple google keyrings for some reason. Thus he had to repeatedly enter his password; once for each keyring.

I was having the same problem and resolve it by deleting the configuration files of Evolution. Do this:
rm -rf ./.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf
rm -rf ./.config/evolution
rm -rf ./.local/share/evolution
I don't have that problem anymore since I did that. I hope this could help you.

It would appear that removing "./.config/evolution" is sufficient to fix this. It is recreated on a restart and I don't have the problem now.

Sorry to hear you had to revert @Mena. I had the same upgrade path and ran into this as well. Hopefully the below will be helpful for someone else who finds this.
What I found is that the Online Accounts feature isn't fully compatible with Google's TFA. The following is a workaround, to be entered when prompted for a password:
Enter an application specific password for Google in one of the recurring password prompts. Since setting an application specific password, it hasn't bugged me again, even after several reboots and my calendar was syncing before reboot. However for it to sync again- you have to manually bring up the calendar on each reboot, and when it prompts again for password - re-enter the app specific password.
To get the app specific password - go to Google's App password page and generate one to use with Ubuntu's Online Accts (and save it in your favorite password manager for use again later): https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
For more reading on Google TFA and application compatibility, here's Google's help page on the matter:

Hi Jeff, I don't know where to put that password since the calendar already has my account set up and working, the problem is that it asks for the password despite that. And it does also with an account that doesn't have TFA.

I'll update my answer in the morning when pull the laptop back up.. You can edit the login used in account settings.

Iknow that but the configured accounts are working.. I think the problem is some remanent account frombthe previous installation that don't show in the online accounts page.As I said
– Andrés Alcarraz
Oct 30 '17 at 12:03
@AndrésAlcarraz and you're using an app specific password on the TFA enabled Google account? Until I did that, my calendar sync would work for a little bit, and then I'd be getting prompted for password again.
– Jeff Burns
Oct 30 '17 at 12:58
I didn't, when I set up the account in online accounts it asked me for the TPA step, i.e. I had to authorize the login from my phone, I guess we are facing two different bugs, either way I will do what you suggest in your answer but I don't think that's gonna work since in the account not using TPA the problem is the same, it asks for my password again and again

@AndrésAlcarraz and you're using an app specific password on the TFA enabled Google account? Until I did that, my calendar sync would work for a little bit, and then I'd be getting prompted for password again.

I didn't, when I set up the account in online accounts it asked me for the TPA step, i.e. I had to authorize the login from my phone, I guess we are facing two different bugs, either way I will do what you suggest in your answer but I don't think that's gonna work since in the account not using TPA the problem is the same, it asks for my password again and again

Hi Jeff, I don't know where to put that password since the calendar already has my account set up and working, the problem is that it asks for the password despite that. And it does also with an account that doesn't have TFA.

I'll update my answer in the morning when pull the laptop back up.. You can edit the login used in account settings.

I have seen someone that had multiple google keyrings for some reason. Thus he had to repeatedly enter his password; once for each keyring.
