I get the following error when I try to add my Google account:
There was an error while trying to process the request: Access grant not present.
This is Fedora 38 and KDE Plasma. I have two other identical computers that work fine, so I’m guessing this is a new bug.
Are there any known fixes?
Could you please let me know where you are adding your Google account?
System Settings → Online Accounts → Google
Okay. Are you managing to login to Google through a popup window, or does the window never appear?
It is a small pop up window that gets stuck after I enter my email, it doesn’t reach the password input. When I close out the window then the error message appears.
I tried changing my default browser from firefox to chrome, and then I tried using X11 because it always seems to be wayland breaking the most random things, but I still can’t login. I also saw someone with the same issue a couple years ago saying they needed to install seahorse, but that didn’t help either.
Guess there is always insync 
I also can’t login to OpenDesktop from the Online Accounts menu, nothing happens at all with that one.
I’m experiencing the same issue on Kinoite:
kcmshell5 kcm_kaccountsLogin window shows the progress indicator at the top, but does not proceed.
Login window should proceed to the password entry page.

I do not believe I have made any relevant changes from the base system, but just in case:

Hi All
I have the exact the issue with my fedora37
thanks for your feedback
Same here, not Fedora but Ubuntu 23.04 (I’m Fedora user but they force me to use it in my company ) using KDE with Plasma 5.
Mine is the exact same error as @brianclemens described. Same logs.
So I guess it’s related to KDE and not the distro itself.
Looks like this is an issue with the older signon-ui / signond packages in Fedora, most likely the former though the latter is also behind.

Hi there!
Just wanna say that I am facing same problem here, but using Kubuntu 23.10.
I never use google account but when I do that, I am stuck!
I get a recollection that when using VoidLinux with KDE Plasma, I was in need to compiled the signond from sources. Than accounts works again!
