codex-auth-setup
Use this skill when the user wants to install, reinstall, upgrade, or troubleshoot codex-multi-auth for the official @openai/codex CLI.
Install
npm i -g @openai/codex
npm i -g codex-multi-auth
If the old scoped prerelease package is still installed:
npm uninstall -g @ndycode/codex-multi-auth
npm i -g codex-multi-auth
First login
codex-multi-auth login
Default flow:
- Open the account menu.
- Choose the browser-first OAuth path.
- Complete the official OAuth flow.
- Return to the terminal and confirm the account was saved.
Verify health and routing
codex-multi-auth status
codex-multi-auth list
codex-multi-auth check
codex-multi-auth forecast --live
Use these next when managing multiple accounts:
codex-multi-auth switch 2
codex-multi-auth verify-flagged
codex-multi-auth doctor --fix
Alternate login paths
Use these when browser launch is blocked or the shell is headless:
codex-multi-auth login --manual
CODEX_AUTH_NO_BROWSER=1 codex-multi-auth login
Troubleshooting
- Run
where codex-multi-auth if codex-multi-auth is not recognized.
- Free port
1455 and retry if the OAuth callback server cannot bind.
- Re-run
codex-multi-auth login if the active account is stale or the wrong account was selected.
- Use
codex-multi-auth doctor --fix followed by codex-multi-auth check for a fast recovery loop.
- See
docs/getting-started.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/troubleshooting.md, and docs/reference/commands.md for the full command and config docs.
