Hm, I don't see reason to sign to some account to use other accounts. It 
doesn't make sense for desktop application. On their web I see only "Franz 5 
*offers* built in service synchronization. Just sign in to your Franz account 
and you are ready to go." I don't really see the requirement...?
Well, there is corresponding discussion on Github:
https://github.com/meetfranz/franz/issues/1077
https://github.com/meetfranz/franz/issues/71
https://github.com/meetfranz/franz/issues/894
I wouldn't mind to pay for it, but I don't see why should I need 3rd party 
account, especially if there is Google Analytics on the way. No, thanks.
