Cannot log out of Copilot in PhpStorm

Question

I accidentally logged into the wrong account when setting up GitHub's Copilot in PhpStorm.

• I tried uninstalling the plugin and restarting.
• I tried selecting a different GitHub account in the Copilot settings.
• Other posts have suggested there is a logout button/link in the Copilot settings, but that is not in my PhpStorm 2024.3.1.1 Copilot settings.

How do I disconnect the wrong GitHub account so I can use the one I'm actually paying for Copilot on?

Answer 1

I had similar issue on my Mac with PyCharm and and finally found the solution. Default user data is stored in the following file: /Users/<your_user_name>/.config/github-copilot/apps.json

Open the file and remove saved entry. You will need to re-authenticate again.
