I find the 'Sign in to use GitHub Copilot' toast notification pop up every time I start VS Code. I click the link and it authenticates immediately, but I am wondering if there is a way to store my authentication.
My GitHub authentication log looks like this before I click the sign in button.

Any ideas how to stay signed in? I don't have any issues using VS Code + Copilot in this way on my work computer (Windows).
Additionally, it would be nice for settings sync to remember my GitHub selection.
I've looked through a few reccomendations. Do I need to create a personal access token?
