"Clone Failed" "repository XXXX not found"
I'm trying to clone a repository in Webstorm and I receive an error "Clone Failed" “repository XXXX not found” (where XXXX is the repo URL). When going through the clone process, I get a prompt for login to github, I get taken to the login page on my web browser, and after going through the process of logging in where the github page states “You have been successfully authorized in GitHub. You can close the page.” I then get the “clone failed” error in webstorm.
Checking the access in Github I see the repository I'm trying to clone, so the account that I'm logging in with definitely has access to the repository.
I've checked through past posts with similar titles and have tried toggling "Use credential helper" on and off. Also, I've tried levering “In KeePass” both to no avail.

Are you able to clone the same repository via command line (e.g. git bash) - i.e. outside of the IDE?
Could you try to authenticate to GitHub in Settings (
⌘ + ,orCtrl + Alt + S) > Version Control > GitHub > Add (+) > Log in via GitHub..? Does it successfully add a new account in the list?Could you clone the repository using SSH: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account? To clone via SSH from the IDE, it is necessary to enable the option: Settings (
⌘ + ,orCtrl + Alt + S) > Version Control > GitHub > Clone git repositories using SSH.
