GNOME online accounts on Debian 10 Buster not able to register even one online account
After updating my PC to Debian Buster by clean install, i switched back from LXDE Desktop to GNOME once again to see whether it can be used nicely.
I found it nice that online Accounts could be linked to GNOME for shell integration, but i could not register any of my online accounts with gnome-online-accounts, neither Facebook, nor Google, nor Microsoft or anything else. The interface never made it through the registration process. Did anyone ever observe that feature working in GNOME? And if so, how can i get it working? Having those features working, would be comfortable.

I followed your link to Duck-duck-Go and then the following link: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubunt...-accounts.html . This link shows the procedure how it should be as i experienced while using the feature on my Debian Buster 10 PC. If you look in the website the procedure on my Pc hangs always between steps 3 and 5, i.e. it never proceeds to the dialog for entering account data for my Google account or my Microsoft account. The Facebook dialog opens, but crashes after entering the data. Maybe some of the authentication library dependencies is missing in the apt package ???? There was a similar issue in those things with nextcloud as far as i remember.
