I am using OpenAI ChatGPT Desktop App (Chat + Codex) in my MacBook without issues until I installed passkeys.
After i installed passkeys, it is forcing me to login several times whenever I clicked on one of the past chat conversations even though i logged in successfully.
I removed/uninstalled the app, deleted all references, caches, passkeys (from web account too) etc. from my machine. Then I reinstalled the app and logged-in successfully but the problem persists. I need an accurate resolution and guidance on this issue. I tried all possible options available on internet but no use.
Desktop app version: 26.818.61809
