Good

It doesn't. Nothing happens.

I did that, bt banshee doesn't open a browser window (or tab)

Nope, nothing.

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".
