Searching online didn't give any useful results but it looks like VS Code requires permission to access secret storage for the extension to store the api keys. Which is required for extension to work. And I assume the secret storage is behind Default keyring in your OS, for which the user doesn't have permission to write.

thanks a lot for the investigation, I totally agree with your comment and I think this is likely the reason of the problem. I was checking the Default keyring and also the location of the secret storage from the VS code website, but no exact place or folder was given. Since I was making a user installation of the VS code under my own home folder in Linux enviroment, it is a bit weird that there is no permission given. I do understand that this may have small link from your software. But I hope there will be some work around method. Thanks in advance!

I found out it's configurable, it depends on VS Code ability to detect OS keyring. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76044882/chatgpt-api-key-not-working-in-visual-studio-code/76731061#76731061

The explanation on how to configure VS Code is here:
