Bug#714554: epiphany-browser: Google account 'two step' verification doesn't work with Epiphany

[ygmarchi]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.4.2-2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Google account 'two step verification' doesn't work with Epiphany,
even though I have the 'always accept cookies' option enabled.

The 'two step verification' is a mechanism devised by Google to
enhance security by keeping control of which devices and which programs
can login to your Google account.

The first time a device tries to login a verification code is sent
to your primary device (in this case my mobile phone) are you are
challanged to enter it on you new device.

Of course this is useful if the verification code is asked just the
first time, which, with Epiphany, doesn't happen: it is asked every
time I open the browser.

Carlo.
