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

## CONFIGURATION FILE

See the XDG Base Directory Specification for more information about `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.

## SECRETS
