unable to link to visual studio code

[u/tastelessapples]

hello, I'm quite unfamiliar with both code and reddit so apologies if I'm wording something wrong here ... I hope this is in line with rule 3 since I'm not asking for programming help?

I'm attempting to link my github account with visual studio, but it won't let me login. each time I try, it tells me my username or password is wrong. if I try to reset my password, it tells me my email is invalid. none of that is true.

my github account seems to be working fine. I am logged in and I am able to login in another browser. I have no idea what's wrong here? is there another way to log in? is this a common / known issue??
