What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.519.22136 (3003)

What subscription do you have?

Pro 20x

What platform is your computer?

MacOS - Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Prior to updating Codex Mac App, I had a couple devices connected in Settings → Connections → Control Other Devices. And from one primary machine I was successfully remote controlling sessions across those devices.

After updating, all my remote sessions disappeared from my sidebar, and all remote projects have a red warning icon to the right of them saying, "Remote control enrollment requires explicit authorization in settings."

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When I go into manage connections, I no longer see my other devices under "Devices you can control from this Mac". When I hit Set Up to try and reconnect those devices, it shows me the "Control other devices from this Mac pop-up" with the button to "Authorize on chatgpt.com". I click that, I log in, it says successful, but then it just shows me a blank state pop-up in Codex after connecting for "Add device", and then it says "No signed in devices available". If I close out of the "Add devices" pop-up and click the "Set up" button again, it makes me log in to OpenAI again fresh, and the loop continues unsuccessfully.

What is the expected behavior?

    Same issue here. The issue you closed it for is a slop issue FYI.
    Yours is cleaner.
