            Bug ID: 84646
           Summary: UI improvement: Google Drive check password before
                    accepting it
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Currently when setting up a Google Drive connection, in the username and
password entry dialog, you can enter an invalid password. To improve the UI, we
should:

1) Have better error handling. Currently you are allowed to enter an incorrect
password. And later in the process you get a "General input/output error" along
with other strange behavior. Instead of this general, non-descriptive error
message, we should get an invalid username or password error and the
Authentication Required dialog should popup.

2) The Authentication Required dialog should not allow you to "OK" until you
have entered a valid password. You should be able to cancel, but if you enter
an invalid one and press "OK", it should give you the descriptive error message
from 1) "Invalid username or password" and pop back up allowing you to enter
the correct credentials.

Both these changes should be made together, because if just 2) is implemented,
people like me that change their password often will have to deal with the
buggy current behavior when the password is incorrect.
