Hello @AVisiION ,

I am not sure what software is that but you would need to login to GitHub first to use Copilot. You can use personal access token which would replace password when prompted for it or you could generate SSH key and add it to your GitHub.

Hi @AVisiION

If you're having trouble logging into GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, here are some steps to try:

---

✅ Step-by-step fixes:

1. Check GitHub Copilot extension is installed and enabled

   • Open VS Code
   • Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
   • Search for "GitHub Copilot"
   • Make sure it is installed and enabled

2. Sign out and sign back into GitHub in VS Code

   • Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
   • Run GitHub: Sign out
   • Then run GitHub: Sign in and follow prompts to authenticate

3. Check your internet connection and firewall

   • Ensure VS Code can reach GitHub’s servers
   • Disable any VPN or firewall temporarily to test

4. Update VS Code and GitHub Copilot extension

   • Make sure both are updated to the latest versions

5. Restart VS Code and try again

---

If none of these work, please provide more details:

• VS Code version
• Exact error messages you see

Happy to help troubleshoot further!

Thank you.
I found that my github extension was disabled and after I enabled it works fine.
