Github: Can't login to GitHub from Atom

Description

Hi, I'm not able to login to the GitHub via the GitHub panel in Atom. I click the link (github.atom.io/login) to generate the token, copy that token from the website and paste it into the token field via ctrl+v (there's no right-click option, which is documented in #899). All that works fine, the issue is when I click the login button, nothing happens. I've tried to troubleshoot this several ways:

• The project I initially tried this in belongs to an organization I'm a member of; to ensure there wasn't a permissions issue (not sure if this would matter, but figured I'd try anyway), I tried the same procedure documented above in a project that I'm the sole owner of. Still no luck.
• I tried uninstalling Atom then reinstalling it. At this point I hadn't done anything with my User Profile, so I'm not sure if this would've fixed anything, but I tried it anyway.
• Per the debugging guide, I tried using Safe Mode, clearing saved state, and resetting to factory defaults, none of which made a difference. I checked for linked packages; I have none. Lastly, I opened Chrome Developer Tools, went to the console and saw the following error: ":267311 Uncaught (in promise) Error: RelayModernGraphQLTag". There's a lot more there (looks mostly like JSON and references to module locations but I'm no expert) but I wasn't sure if I needed to scrub the log for PII before uploading it. The 267311 listed above refers to invariant.js.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Click the link (github.atom.io/login) to generate the token
2. Copy that token from the website and paste it into the token field
3. Click login button, nothing happens

Expected behavior:

[What did you expect to happen?]

That I would be logged into GitHub.

[What actually happened instead?]

Nothing.

[What percentage of the time does this happen?]

100% of the time.

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.

For information on how to use GitHub's search feature to find out if something is a duplicate before filing, see the How Can I Contribute? section of the Atom CONTRIBUTING guide.
