Hi,
I'm unable to login https://auth.openai.com/codex/device to my team space : Please contact your workspace admin to enable device code authentication
I couldn't find the enable device code auth anywhere on admin setting. Is there a doc explaining now to fix this please ?

We rolled out a fix earlier today. Please let us know if you're still experiencing problems.
I am an admin and I can't see the device code auth option.
Issue is still not fixed. Even now we are getting the same error. Also in settings there is no option to enable this option "Enable device code authorization for Codex". I'm using ChatGPT Business account.

Same issue here
Same for me, even as admin, I don't see this option enabled.
