A few weeks ago, I changed my Google account password. Ever since then, GNOME keeps prompting me for my Google account password - but it won't accept either the new password or the old one. I just have to cancel the dialog box.
I don't know about how to solve this, but I'm seeing the same problem and it started around the same time it seems. Did you get anywhere with this?
FWIW I haven't changed my password for a long time. The dialog box just started appearing and doesn't accept the password.
I'm going to try to investigate later.
