Error running command local-extension.login: Personal Access Token is required #349
@michaelhenningersrb, @dimdusart , Is the issue still happening? This can happen when you have multiple instances of VSCode open. To resolve this, you can either close the other open instances but keep only the one you want to authenticate with, or make sure the instance that started the authentication process is focused.
@sammok83 It looks like the issue is that you have multiple instances of VS Code open. Have you tried closing all instances of VS Code, leaving only the one you want to authenticate with?
@rafaelcaziraghi : The authorization process may have stalled. To resolve this issue, please restart VS Code by terminating all active VS Code processes and relaunching your workspace. I hope this works.

Hello,
I actually have the same issue. Whether I want to connect to any landscape (enterprise or internal BAS), I get this error about PAT required.
It doesn't want to connect correctly to BAS :

In my case, I get the "Personal Acces Token is required" error when i try to copy-paste the authentication url in my browser from the login popup.
But if I choose the "Open" button in the login popup instead of copying-pasting the url, it works like a charm.
It sounds like bug, doesn't it?
alex-gilin commentedon Apr 6, 2025
@phdaucourt why do you need to copy paste the authentication url ? can you elaborate on your process?

I'm now getting this since this Monday. Was ok last week.
I've already signed out of my profile in vscode

Hello!
I'm having exactly the same issue, and I'm sure I have only one instance with status "running". Any suggestions I could try?
Thank you.
