OK, so this isn’t a usual post for me. This has nothing to do with Freetail (my little web and API testing tool I’m building). But I’m a Linux user and have been frustrated with Gnome Online Accounts lately. Judging by the number of other posts I see out there about it, others are too.
For those who’ve seen it, lately web-kit seems to be hanging when trying to authenticate to Google after entering your credentials. This screen will just hang and you won’t get prompted for MFA.
So the solution I found here was to simply right click and refresh the screen. Serious. That’s all you have to do. Hopefully this helps one of my fellow Linux nerds out.
