How to change Github user for Github Copilot in IntelliJ

I accidently logged into wrong github user for activating GitHub Copilot. I am not able to switch and continue to validate against the same user. Neither restart nor reinstall plugin helps here.

In my case, for Android Studio, I found the Github Copilot icon at the bottom right and from there I was able to log in/out to switch accounts. See the picture below.

For me, I could use Tools > GitHub Copilot and then log out and log back in with a different account.

Thanks for your advice. Had the same problem but there was no apps.json under the path.

I found hosts.json and I think it's the same think. The file saved my user and the token for GitHub CoPilot. I deleted the file and voila I can finally sign in to copilot.

Took sometime but figured out. Posting the answer here hoping it will help some one.

All you have to do is , go to C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\github-copilot and remove apps.json, restart the IDE. It will prompt again to sign in at Github.
