I have noticed many times that the authentication for the Google account is gone suddenly. So i can´t use Google Talk or getting e-mails. I have to authenticate Sailfish again.

It seems that phone do not allow you to use the Google's two factor authentication. This seems to be a security issue, that needs to be fixed.
My Jolla is getting fixed so I cannot test this but have you tried using application specific passwords? I have Google Apps for Business in use and at least for Microsoft Exchange connector I used application specific password?

I believe this is the same as @Kondou's problem at https://together.jolla.com/question/850/bug-google-account-logout/
The problem, briefly, is that a component fails to sign in (for a variety of reasons not related to credentials) and incorrectly reports that as an authentication failure, triggering the notification and, if you open the settings page, removing the credentials so they can be re-entered. We think we've solved it now, but it was after the cutoff for the previous update. There are fixes coming in the next system update (newer than 1.0.2.5), and we haven't had any problems in testing so far.
Of course, that doesn't rule out that there are other problems, but it's difficult to separate them right now. I'll close this as a duplicate of the question I linked above. If you still have authentication problems after the next update is out, please let us know :)

I seem to also have this problem, though my problem is a bit different: https://together.jolla.com/question/850/bug-google-account-without-gmail/

Kaacz ( 2013-12-25 22:07:51 +0200 )editI lose authentication for one of my Google accounts as well, from time to time. It seems to happen only for the account I use to sync everything. The G accounts that only sync email get to keep their authentication. After the newest upgrade, there is also a notification for the lost authentication.
