Google Synchronization

Solved
mv69 -  

Each time I open Thunderbird, Google displays the following message:

accounts.google.com needs you to re-confirm access to continue synchronizing with your account. Username: ***@***

Then Firefox posts: "Sign in with Google
Mozilla Thunderbird Email
Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google account"

Various tutorials, tips and others only provide ineffective solutions. How can I permanently get rid of these messages?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

    Hello hello, because saying hello here is a priority if you want us to help you quickly.

    Therefore you can always try to remove Gmail authorization in Thunderbird by opening it first, then going to Tools, Account Settings, and in the left column select your Gmail account, then at the bottom go to Security Settings, click on: Saved Passwords, and delete all entries that contain "Google" or "accounts.google.com" as well, and see if Thunderbird asks for a new authorization.

    The settings on your Google account should also be checked by following the same procedure as above, but just with Thunderbird.

    If you are using OAuth, it may have expired and made Google's authorization invalid.

    You can therefore relaunch Thunderbird and re-perform the Google login by selecting your Gmail account, then authorize IMAP/SMTP access and check: "Permanently allow" if this option appears.
