Bug Description

When developing an application, you often need to change your *.service files. However, the ~/.config/libsignon-glib/accounts.db file is unexpectedly not updated when you install a newer version of your app on your device. It still holds the old information and therefore causes huge problems as existing and newly configured accounts won't work properly.

Finding this out costed me a few hours today!
