VSCode - Have to log into GitHub everytime (keychain error)

Using the branded release of VS Code.
Everytime I start the application, it prompts me to log in to GitHub, despite having already done so in previous sessions.
After logging in successfully, code prompts me with the following notification

Writing login information to the keychain failed with error 
'Object does not exist at path “/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login”'.

Following other forum posts I've installed gnome-keyring and libgnome-keyring, but am not sure what further configuration to do with them.
I want VSCode to remember my GitHub login persistently through sessions so that I don't have to relog in everytime.

If gnome-keyring is installed, check if it's unlocked with

seahorse

before starting vscode.
