Unable to Import Project from New GitHub Account

Hi Vercel team,

I’m encountering an issue while trying to import a project from a new GitHub account. Here’s what happens:

  1. My old GitHub account is already connected to Vercel, and several projects are hosted there.

  2. I created a new GitHub account and moved my revamped project there.

  3. When I try to connect the new GitHub account and import the project, Vercel still only shows my old account and its projects.

  4. Attempting to add the new GitHub account prompts for authentication, including 2FA, but after selecting the project, it doesn’t reflect in Vercel. I am not redirected back to the Vercel page as expected.

  5. Clearing browser cache and reattempting hasn’t solved the issue.

  6. The GitHub integration page in my Vercel account shows no sign of the new account being connected.

I suspect this may be due to session caching or OAuth conflicts between accounts. I’ve tried all typical troubleshooting steps, including revoking old OAuth tokens, signing out of all accounts, and reauthorizing, but the project still doesn’t appear for import.

Could you please advise on how to properly connect a new GitHub account without removing existing projects from my old account?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey there! Could you try:

  • Fully Sign Out: Log out of both Vercel and GitHub everywhere (all tabs), then clear your cookies/cache for both just to reset everything properly.
  • Try Incognito Mode: Open an incognito/private window and connect your new GitHub account from there. It helps avoid any weird leftover sessions.
  • Check GitHub Permissions: On your new GitHub account, go to Settings → Applications → Authorized OAuth Apps and double-check that Vercel has access to the repos you’re trying to import.
  • Add the Repo Manually: In your Vercel dashboard, click Add New Project and paste the GitHub repo URL instead of using the auto-import flow.
  • Disconnect + Reconnect: In your Vercel account settings, disconnect the GitHub integration completely and reconnect it. You should get prompted to pick which GitHub account you want to use.
