Log In to GitHub Trouble

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  On my Mac at home I can connect with phpStorm to GitHub with no problems.  At work on a Windows 7 machine I can't log in to GitHub at all.  I have:

PhpStorm 2018.2.2
Build #PS-182.4129.45, built on Aug 22, 2018

I try File > Settings > Version Control > GitHub
Add account
I try it with my full Email address and just my login name (pictured above).

My office has a firewall but on the command line I used "git clone <URL>" and cloned down one of my repos so I know the firewall isn't the problem.  Can anyone suggest how to resolve this?  Please help.

I found a solution to the problem.  My Windows computer had a .gitconfig file with proper proxy settings but phpStorm wasn't set for proxy.  After looking around online I found where to set phpStorm's proxy settings:

Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy

Once there, I used the manual settings and put in the URL for my proxy, port, login and password.

I cloned down my project with no difficulties.
