Hello :wave: I'm Tyler from the VS Code team. I'm opening this issue because you use the keytar shim that VS Code provides.
Keytar is officially archived and not being maintained... In an effort to promote good security practices by not depending on an archived piece of software for storing secrets, we are working on a plan to remove this shim from VS Code. We want to communicate this to you so we minimize the disruption due to this change, hence this issue. I know this isn't the best news... we had a fair amount of work to remove our dependency on keytar as well, but we believe this is the right thing to do to ensure extensions are using secure APIs.
There are a couple of options for you to consider:
Timeline
The current plan is to remove this shim from VS Code Insiders in early July which means that August 2023's stable release will be the first release without the shim.
