OAuth error connecting GitHub — "Problem completing OAuth login"
I'm trying to connect my a new GitHub account to Railway so I can point my services at new repos. Every attempt fails with "Error authenticating with GitHub — Problem completing OAuth login." I've tried: fully disconnecting and reconnecting GitHub, a clean single-account session, and a brand-new browser (fresh Chrome, fully logged out) — same error every time. My account shows "Connected" but "Use GitHub to login" has a red X and repo listing returns "Failed to get user info from GitHub."

Your account currently has no GitHub account linked, which aligns with the "Failed to get user info from GitHub" error. If the new GitHub account you're trying to connect is already linked to a different Railway account, the OAuth handshake will fail because we enforce one account per person through GitHub verification. Please check whether that GitHub account was ever used to create or log into another Railway account, and if so, disconnect it there first. Also try revoking the Railway OAuth authorization from GitHub's side (GitHub Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps) before retrying the connection from Account Settings.
