I have set an option in my Gmail that whenever I log in to my email, it will send a code on my mobile and I enter that code to access my emails. I tried to setup my Google account in Fedora 19, but failed because it always disconnect me after some time. It says "Credentials have expired" And then I tried to log in and it will ask for code again. And when I tried to log in with application-specific password, it says "Please use your account password instead of an application-specific password." What else I can do to configure my Gmail in online accounts?

There are unfinished features to connect gnome-online with google account but there is a way to fix it.. (for me, I can log in to google-account and sync calender, contact and use google-talk)

How to fix.

Open 'Passwords & Keys' (Seahorse) program and search for 'GOA google'
'Right Click' and open 'Properties'
On 'Key' tab , expand 'Password' field and check 'Show password'
look for 'password':<'(your-key)'> and set it to your application-specific password

Finish :)

PS. try to add Images but cannot :(

Doesn't work in F20 anymore. No 'password'-section :-(

I've had the same experience since Fedora 18 and because of it I no longer try to sync my Google account with Gnome. How about using Chromium and its many extensions.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd - Hangouts
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jccocffecajimkdjgfpjhlpiimcnadhb - Google Keep
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kcnhkahnjcbndmmehfkdnkjomaanaooo - Google Voice
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pgphcomnlaojlmmcjmiddhdapjpbgeoc - Send from Gmail

Some of these extensions will act as pop-ups until you enable "Panels" in chrome:flags. It's a very cool feature.

Agree. Instead of syncing accounts with Google, use Chrome or Chromium and download the Hangouts extention and configure an email client like Thunderbird with Gmail.

Install Seahorse program.
Open 'Passwords & Keys' and search for 'GOA google'
Right Click and select 'Properties'
On 'Key' tab , expand 'Password' field and click the box next to 'Show password'
Look for 'password':<'(your-key)'> and set it to your application-specific password.

umtapao's fix didn't work for me as I didn't have the "password" string in the GOA properties.

But I made a workaround. I deleted the GOA properties for Google Account, and then deleted Google Account from Fedora and recreated it. This time I was able to use application-specific password from Google Accounts.
