When trying to reauthenticate cody, the toaster popop in the bottom just spins after selecting Continue with GitHub.
in the past, it used to eventually show a popup where I could sign in directly or copy a url. When that popup came up this time, I clicked a trust this url button, and now I am no longer prompted. I can not find a way to un trust it, and now I can no longer log in to cody.
It never prompts me to log in to github.
well I was able to workaround by following the instructions here:
however I find this suboptimal, every 90 days or so I’m going to lose an hour trying to figure out how to get cody running again… 
The issue maybe stems from having to many access tokens generated in the Sourcegraph client area.
Usually, a re-authentication isn’t needed once logged in. If an access token expires, the automatic login method via the selected method should trigger the authentication method again and generate a new token.
There were no existing auth tokens when I went manually to create one. I guess I’ll know more in 90 days, but I feel like this has something to do with VS code and / or the way the ide prompts for login to github. Used to give me a popup, but now it won’t because I trusted it. In the past I always had to go the manual route and copy the url and open a browser separately… unfortunately I didn’t remember that until after I trusted the url.
Thank you for your reply. I will have a look where to un-trust existing URLs today and report back my findings.
Hi Scomo,
which Operatingssysten you are using?
I have had a similar prob. a few month ago at Cachy OS (and other Arch Distros), but using VSCodium.
The prob. seams to be a incorrect path to the folder where VSCodium it’s settings stores. I switched to VSCode-OSS which works like expected.
Just in Case you works with a Arch Distro to…
Hi, I’m using windows. It’s been 90 days and I have this problem again. I think that the issue is somewhere in the continue with github action.
The workaround access steps above worked this time, I just needed to find where I was supposed to generate the access tokens. For 90 days from now, it’s in Account → Settings after logging in to sourcegraph.
Hey @scomo
The access tokens have an expiration date and must be renewed after a certain period of time. Please generate a new token.
Thank you
I did that. the point is I have to go through this process instead of just continuing with github (see original ticket)
