When I add the URL for my GitHub repository and ask to clone, my GutHub credentials are requested but when I provide the credentials, I get this error message on Visual Studio 2015:

We were unable to automatically populate your Visual Studio Team Services accounts.

The following error was encountered: VS30063: You are not authorized to access https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com.

Any help on how to resolve this? My OS is Windows Server 2016 Standard.

Thanks

    Hi @AAMM ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Please go to Visual Studio and sign out your account.
    Then, close all running VS instances and relaunch your VS to sign into your account.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
