We are working on fully resolving this issue in the meantime you can try one of the workarounds:

On MacOS

_(by @alpha-adam)_

Run this in Terminal:

open /Applications/Python\ 3.11/Install\ Certificates.command

This installs the required root certificates that Python uses for SSL.

After that, codex login should work without SSL errors.

*nix

_(by @thelonglincoln)_

export SSL_CERT_FILE=$(python3 -m certifi)
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=$(python3 -m certifi)

before running codex login
