As with anything that wants my passwords I want to know about the how safe it is to use the gnome-online-accounts [g-o-a] feature (and how it can be exploited). I'm only interested in the Google part of it since that is all that is available at the moment.
I want to understand if it stores my password in any way - I get the impression it uses some kind of token authentication but I don't understand this. Is it possible to steal a password (or similar?) from my computer through g-o-a?
All the documentation that I have found is far too complex for a normal person to understand.
