Fixes #212. The problem is that the google oauth2 api only returns a refresh token if a confirmation prompt was displayed to the user. Previously if you logged in once it would use the session and automatically authenticate you. But then you don't have a refresh token and it fails because of that after about an hour. This creates the problem that everytime you need to select your Google account and click "OK" but I will create a followup PR to save the refresh token so you don't need to login each time and also it doesn't create a browser tab each time.
