[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 759619] Re: banshee cannot access last.fm account

[Bertrand Lorentz]

Banshee doesn't ask for your Last.fm password because that's the way the Last.fm authentication process works.
This is more secure, as you don't have to trust your Last.fm password to third-party applications and those applications don't have to store it.

When you see the "You need to allow Banshee to access your Last.fm
account", Banshee should have opened a page on the Last.fm web site in
your browser. It is in this web page that you have to authorize Banshee
to access your Last.fm account. You might also have to log in to the
Last.fm website.

The web page opened by Banshee might not be visible, if for example you
already have a browser window open but not visible, it will just open a
new tab in that window. Please check whether it is the case.

Title:
  banshee cannot access last.fm account

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  Banshee asks me: "Account details are needed before you can connect to Last.fm"
  I'm a subscriber, so no worries there.
  I'm entering my username (cannot enter a password anywhere, why?)
  Then I'm asked "You need to allow Banshee to access your Last.fm account", but no matter what or how often I'm clicking, it won't work.
  See attached screenshots
  In my last.fm preferences, banshee won't appear as "connected app".
