Screenshots
Error: user interaction failed
This is a generic error from the keychain, as we need somewhere to store the token received from the browser sign-in flow. Unless you have a libsecret-compatible package installed like gnome-keyring this will not work.
Ohkay, understandable. I'm not using a libsecret-compatible keyring lib but will test with the gnome one later.
It would be very nice to feat a customized message for that error!
