| 6 | +# codex-auth-setup |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Use this skill when the user wants to install, reinstall, upgrade, or troubleshoot `codex-multi-auth` for the official `@openai/codex` CLI. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Install |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +```bash |
| 13 | +npm i -g @openai/codex |
| 14 | +npm i -g codex-multi-auth |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +If the old scoped prerelease package is still installed: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```bash |
| 20 | +npm uninstall -g @ndycode/codex-multi-auth |
| 21 | +npm i -g codex-multi-auth |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## First login |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +```bash |
| 27 | +codex auth login |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Default flow: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +1. Open the account menu. |
| 33 | +2. Choose the browser-first OAuth path. |
| 34 | +3. Complete the official OAuth flow. |
| 35 | +4. Return to the terminal and confirm the account was saved. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Verify health and routing |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```bash |
| 40 | +codex auth status |
| 41 | +codex auth list |
| 42 | +codex auth check |
| 43 | +codex auth forecast --live |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Use these next when managing multiple accounts: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +```bash |
| 49 | +codex auth switch 2 |
| 50 | +codex auth verify-flagged |
| 51 | +codex auth doctor --fix |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Alternate login paths |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Use these when browser launch is blocked or the shell is headless: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +```bash |
| 59 | +codex auth login --manual |
| 60 | +CODEX_AUTH_NO_BROWSER=1 codex auth login |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +- Run `where codex` if `codex auth` is not recognized. |
| 66 | +- Free port `1455` and retry if the OAuth callback server cannot bind. |
| 67 | +- Re-run `codex auth login` if the active account is stale or the wrong account was selected. |
| 68 | +- Use `codex auth doctor --fix` followed by `codex auth check` for a fast recovery loop. |
| 69 | +- See `docs/getting-started.md`, `docs/configuration.md`, `docs/troubleshooting.md`, and `docs/reference/commands.md` for the full command and config docs. |
