GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 654168
Removing an account leaves keyring item behind
Last modified: 2012-03-30 13:26:14 UTC
In testing Evolution's integration with GOA, I'm amassing quite a collection of keyring items labelled "GOA Google credentials". I assume these items should be removed along with the GOA account?
Yeah, we definitely should.
When you get rid of an account and try to recreate it. The error bad request wrong token is shown. Deleting the keyring manually doesn't change this state.

The fact that we don't delete old keyring items should have nothing to do with failures on creating new accounts. I'm not sure why you think this is so. It's more likely that Google account creation (I'm assuming this is what you are using) fails because your local clock is not set correctly ... because I've seen from other reports that Google's servers are very picky about this.

The reporter acknowledged on IRC this indeed was the problem.
