Codex forces phone re-verification multiple times per active session
Open 💬 1 comment Opened May 31, 2026 by ho2mo
What issue are you seeing?
The authentication flow frequently drops active sessions and requires a refresh. It can require multiple refreshes within a single hour, and every single time it refreshes, it forces a new phone verification.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
-
What is the expected behavior?
The session should remain active after verification without interrupting work
Additional information
This happens on the exact same device and within the same active browser/CLI session, without using a VPN or changing network connections. The system sometimes even requires phone verification multiple times in less than an hour
