OpenAI token is reset on new IDE launch

[chaoscreater]

I've said the OpenAI token and verified it. I can use it just fine. But whenever I restart my PyCharm, the token will be empty and I have to add it again. How can I fix this please?

Have figured it out. I have no idea why this is related, but this definitely fixed my issue after I tested it on 2 different machines.

Firstly, exit PyCharm or whatever your Jetbrains IDE is.

Go to %Appdata%\JetBrains\PyCharmCE2023.1

Your PyCharm version might be different to mine, so just find the folder that matches your version. In my case, I'm using v2023.1.

Delete these 2 files:

Also delete the security.xml file under the options folder. All of those files correspond to this option here:

After that, start PyCharm and it should automatically create the 2 files in the screenshot. It may or may not create a security.xml file under options folder, but it doesn't matter. You're now able to save the OpenAI token again and it will retain after you restart PyCharm.
