I ended up completely deleting ~/.config/libaccounts-glib and ~/.config/signond
and re-creating all the accounts from scratch. Conversation logs are stored
under ~/.local/share/TpLogger. You can pair them back with the newly created
accounts if you wish (mc-tool dump will be your guide). Look at
https://community.kde.org/KTp/Setting_up_KAccounts for an illustration of how
complicated the authentication in KTp is. With all the libraries, daemons,
plugins and their ever-changing protocols and configuration formats, it's
wonder that the KTp works at all (sometimes). Btw, I was horrified when I
realized, that the signond "secrets" database is stored in plain text and is
readable by group (which, in my case, is users!).
