I upgraded to git snapshots yesterday, but so far my existing accounts still come up with "doesn't support prompt for credentials". Is this solved for you, or does anything else need updating for this to work?

For me it is resolved with the latest 3.16.4 from official repo. Before that I tried with a custom build from the git (as reported above) and it also resolved it. However I should report that before the git build I deleted and recreated the gmail account. Is this an option for you?

I just inspected the PKGBUILD from the official repo and the git commit used is identical with my custom build. I would try to recreate one of your accounts to see if it works.
