Description

Hey,

I have difficulty turning on syncing as clicking on the accounts icon doesn't do anything and clicking on the "Turn on Settings Sync" button provides the following error message:

> Error while turning on Settings Sync. No authentication providers are available.

This might be connected to a similar issue [#144471](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/144471) discussed in the main repo of VS Code. VS Code seems to be requiring gnome-keyring, libsecret and libgnome-keyring (maybe just on of those).

Is this a permission issue that can be solved via Flatseal or by adding a path?

Thanks for answering,

Nordanis

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Settings Sync failure in the Flatpak build, then compare the report with VS Code issue #144471 and check the mentioned gnome-keyring, libsecret, and libgnome-keyring integration. Done means the Accounts icon and "Turn on Settings Sync" work without the "No authentication providers are available" error.
