Google authentication prompt pops up too often
It is quite annoying to see the following authentication prompt many times per day:
It's strange, I've been using StackEdit for about a year and just started having this happen. It happens like every hour. Before, I was never prompted.
Google now says this is a security risk since the app has an "Unverified developer"
It sounds like the developers have not gone through the app verification process.
However I was able to verify that for these sensitive oauth2 scopes, the refresh interval is required to be 45 minutes. Which is a real bummer. I wish I had control over this, but Google's a big company. @benweet please let me know (DM) if you need expedited Google OAuth App Verification.
It's possible that if the app refreshes the token before the 45 minutes expires, then it won't need to prompt the user to be prompted and that would be a helper.
I moved away from StackEdit for keeping a scratchpad a few weeks ago. b/c the re-auth prompts were so annoying.
I actually do not need the sync feature at all. i find this to be the lightest way local OS markdown editor and converter (besides needing Pandoc CLI table scripture software for the other forms like ODT, or DOCX) it can do MD, PDF, and HTML.
All others are either freemium or heavy on the web tethering. I thought this app could stick to the local browser space and not need to have any web dependency. I might have mistakenly done some syncing, and now I am fighting or trying to figure out how to wean it from any syncing to the web. I could use Google account permission nuking, perhaps. But is there another issue about this if I seek a more surgical solution within app, e.g. rollback to local OS storage (with in browser of course)?
Edit: I found out I could simply logout out from workspace. now i need to go on the web and clear anything. maybe i am not understanding that syncing at all. at least now i can work locally and not be bothered as above.
