Copilot VS 2022: Can't sign out from account

[artificiadrian]

I just downloaded Github Copilot for Visual Studio 2022, and unfortunately signed in with the wrong account.

There is no option to sign out in the Visual Studio 2022 version.

Please add that. Reinstalling the extension did not seem to work (I guess credentials are stored somewhere? However I don't know where.)

EDIT: Temporary solution on Windows:
Delete the two files (hosts.json and terms.json) in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\github-copilot

@liuicl111 I found a temporary solution to this problem, at least if you're on Windows:

Delete the two files (hosts.json and terms.json) in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\github-copilot

after that, you can Sign in again.

My problem has been solved. Thank you

What if folder C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\github-copilot does not exists?

Left bottom corner of the VS Code window has a button/dropdown that allows the user to sign out

After you sign out successfully, click on the Copilot icon at the right bottom corner and click "retry" if it gives you an error — after that it should prompt a sign in button

You can sign out from the same icon where you change all other Copilot settings:

The same menu is accessible from Edit > Copilot suggestions:

This was not the case for me. It still said 'Sign in', even though I was signed in to an account that did not have Github Copilot access.

in VS2022: From Menu choose File >> Account Settings ; this will show all the logged-in account in VS. remove the Github account to sign-out
