How to fix duplicate account in git credential manager

Question

git version 2.41.0.windows.2
PowerShell version 7.3.5

When I run git credential-manager github list, credential manager shows the same account twice:

PS C:\Users\<redacted>\dev\src\cs\<redacted> git credential-manager github list
chrisxfire
chrisxfire

This results in the following prompt whenever I push to the repo:

I can remove the duplicate account by running git credential-manager github logout chrisxfire. However, as soon as I open another repo, the duplicate account shows up again.

Any idea what's causing this or how to fix it permanently?
