Open 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 25, 2026 by Kushalkhemka

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.422.30944 (2080)

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The issue is using the remote connections on the codex app on macos and linux vm (ubuntu 22.04) installed with codex cli latest version using npm install -g @openai/codex@latest today. After logging in with device auth code or headless login. Even after successfully login, the codex macos app working in remote project giving error message "Your access token could not be refreshed because you have since logged out or signed in to another account. Please sign in again."

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1) set remote_connections=true to enable connections in the macos codex app
2) install codex cli latest using npm install -g @openai/codex@latest.
3) Do codex login --device-auth
4) Login will be successful and cli works normally on vm
5) When you come back on codex app and try to send message to continue work in remote project for that vm. The below error message is shown
"Your access token could not be refreshed because you have since logged out or signed in to another account. Please sign in again."
6) Tried with different account and even deleted the codex auth json and relogin performed but still same issue.

What is the expected behavior?

It worked yesterday as normal but as of 25 April 2026, this issue remains unresolved and connections are not working due to this.
