Discussion:
Type: <bBug</bI just restarted Insiders and had to click through 4 GitHub auth requests. put up a dialog, requiring me to sign in. used a notification out a badge on the user icon Sync was also logged out, notifying me with another badge The first 3 opened GitHub and required me to re-check the orgs that the token has access to. Only Copilot provided feedback that the web flow succeeded, others silently accepted the auth. As users get more GitHub extensions, this will become worse. How can we make those auth requests happen a) less often, b) more controlled and, c) with less clicks/context switching.

The issue you hit is that VS Code had issues reading the secrets stored on your machine. This is talking about something different: number of round trips to the browser. I think we are doing what we can to make the round trips as small as possible. This is on GitHub to help us. More here
with the landed, should we close this or morph it into "Reduce GH logins required for multiple extensions"?
Let's close this for now. I don't expect any work on this for the foreseeable future
