It's not clear to me whether the problem you have is with creating a new
account plugin or with using it. But I think that the developer guide
you linked covers both aspects.

Anyway, as an example of an application which ships its own account
plugin and uses it is lp:reminders-app. It's actually quite a complex
case, with the account plugin shipping also a binary QML module, so I'm
quite confident that your case would be much simpler.

If you could tell what service you are trying to access, I can try to
help you in writing the plugin (if it's OAuth-based, it should be fairly
easy).

Ciao,
  Alberto
