What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

Right now I cannot log into the codex CLI using OAuth on the VPS because it tries to open a browser UL or something like that, and I can't make it work.

Ideally, I want to be able to paste a link into my own browser (not on VPS), and copy the code or something back into the codex-cli on the VPS, to authenticate.

Would that be possible? would be amazing.

Keep up the good work.
