I have since removed and re-added my gtalk accounts, and have been using the workaround of bug #1069531 as often as required (killall signonpluginprocess).
I don't know if this bug is related to bug #1069531. Maybe they are the duplicates? If this bug happens to me again, I'll try to find the time to investigate more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480904 Title: Sign in for google doesn't meet modern security standards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1480904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
