Codex Gains Locked-Screen Mac Access with Safeguards
OpenAI's Codex can now run on a Mac while the screen is locked via a new Locked use feature and an Apple authorization plug-in. Codex can be controlled from a phone to operate Mac apps even when the display is off, but it isn’t a general unlock path; safeguards include a short‑lived authorization window, Codex-only access, and coverage across all connected displays, plus it won’t work if the MacBook lid is closed.
