I just updated two of my GNOME installations (FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p3 [x86-64]), and I see the same problem with both.

When I call the accounts-daemon manually with the --debug flag, I see a hash-table error, which perhaps prevents proper operation:

   /usr/local/libexec/accounts-daemon --replace --debug

   (accounts-daemon:855): DEBUG: entering main loop
   (accounts-daemon:855): DEBUG: Changing permission of

      assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
   (accounts-daemon:855): DEBUG: skipping user: gdm
   (accounts-daemon:855): DEBUG: automatic login is disabled

Switching back to accountsservice 0.6.42 resolved the issue.

   mkdir -p ~/install/ports/sysutils
   cd ~/install/ports/sysutils
   svn checkout -r r517057 http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/accountsservice accountsservice
   cd accountsservice
   make DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
   sudo make reinstall clean

Best regards
