      @aclifton314 Just tested mine. Deleted one account and tried to sign back in and got same message as you. Kept trying and getting same then got one of those enter the text you see below boxes. Filled that in then all went ok with login and phone verification. Going to check sync now.

      Edit: Took about 8 attempts to get the sign in text thing

        @Lakotaubp Ahh that's interesting. I went to the ubuntu touch GitHub and looked for open and closed issues related to "calendar" and it appears that there was a bug that seems similar to what we have documented here. Here is what I have tried:

        • Switched to the stable channel and installed update.
        • Tried to add google account in Accounts. Received the "Temporarily disabled for this app" error.
        • Did 10 attempts at adding google account. All failed.
          • I noticed that the heading text of the Google Account sign in was "Ubuntu.com".
        • Switched to Release candidate channel, installed update, and repeated attempts at adding google account.
          • I got "Couldn't sign you in. This browser or app may not be secure. Try using a different browser." the first attempt.
          • I noticed that the heading text of the Google Account sign in was "UBports.com".
          • On the 2nd attempt, I got the captcha word thing and was able to add the account.
          • I was able to sync my contacts and various calendars on this channel. I should note, that the calendars had to appear on my Google Calendar as "checked" in the list on the left hand side during the initial sync. Once they all synced, it didn't matter if they were checked on the google side or not.

        I didn't try the Dev channel at all, but it seems to be working on the release candidate channel. Not sure if this discrepancy is worth reporting to the ubuntu touch GitHub?

            Thanks @Lakotaubp and @aclifton314 . I had the same issue, but after trying a few times it let me continue to a captcha and was able to add my account.

              Hello. I can't add google account, through Settings->Accounts. I'm on FP2, rc channel. The heading text of Google Account says "UBports" and I've tried at least 30 times in a row, but no capcha comes. I can't add account. Is this normal?

                @jezek Have you tried this workaround? https://github.com/ubports/account-plugins/issues/40#issuecomment-633323381

                  We now appear to have the same question being asked and answered in two places. Can we please pick one and stick with it please. It is very confusing for anyone trying to follow this. Thanks.

                    Thank you, that worked. Have all contacts now.

                    That was not an option. I lost all contacts. It was hell. I posted a help cry on the other thread and after some time I found this one. This one seemed more relevant, so I tried the same question again. If I didn't post it here, maybe @stanwood didn't see my other post there and I would be contactless for longer time. I didn't spam the whole forum, or created more topics. Just rose my chances of answer a little bit. Now I'm going to the other thread and will write there, that there is a workaround and the next person with the same trouble will have a slight higher chance to find answer before posting question. πŸ˜‰ I'm confident in my searching skills, but I didn't find the workaround for 30 minutes before posted my question.

                      @jezek Very Good! πŸ‘As it’s a temporary solution I hope this plugin will be implemented by default in next OTA 13...

                        @stanwood For me, the most amusing thing on the workaround is, that it is just a user-agent string update. πŸ™‚
