Repeatedly asked to sign in again using GitHub

1 min read Original article ↗

Seems to be similar issue to #3409 (though no idea if same cause) but as of a couple of hours ago I kept getting this:

The extension 'GitHub Pull Requests' wants you to sign in again using GitHub.

Clicking Allow opens browser to the GH authentication page then ends up here:

Launching Visual Studio Code

But nothing much seems to happen as a result of this... clicking the link does nothing unless I have VSC closed, in which case it just opens VSC whereupon I get the same 'The extension 'GitHub Pull Requests' wants you to sign in again using GitHub.' modal again
