The goa-daemon program stores configuration in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goa-1.0/accounts.conf (typically
~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf) file. The format of this file is private and 3rd party programs or
libraries should never read it. This file does not contain any passwords or secrets.
See the XDGBaseDirectorySpecification[1] for more information about $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Description
The goa-daemon program provides the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the session message bus. Users or
administrators should never need to start this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) whenever an application sends a D-Bus message to the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the
session bus.
