Research direction
Start by locating the Flatpak build's permanent runtime settings and compare them with the linked Settings Sync troubleshooting guidance. Confirm the build currently leaves disable-keytar false, then verify the resulting package sets it true and that Settings Sync no longer fails because keytar interferes with authentication.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
As discovered in https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code/issues/350#issuecomment-1672537287, the statement by Microsoft in their documentation that keytar is disabled and the system secret store is used instead, is incorrect. In fact disable-keytar is set false still (at least in this Flatpak build).
All Settings Sync is broken due to keytar being enabled and interfering with the authentication setup halfway thru. The fix is to set "disable-keytar": true in the permanent runtime settings. This should be built into the Flatpak build.
