“fatal: Authentication failed for” when pushing to GitHub from Visual Studio Code (1.62.2)

The way I solved it was by downgrading it to 1.62.1, and now it works perfectly again.

I’m on Linux, so this may not apply or work for you, but it should if all Visual Studio Code versions are the same across all OSes.

The Visual Studio Code team has confirmed that it will be fixed on 1.62.3

If you use openSUSE Tumbleweed like me, you can run the following command in the terminal to downgrade:

$ sudo zypper install --oldpackage code-1.62.1
