Codex Auth Helper is a tool for exporting ChatGPT session credentials to a local authentication file compatible with Codex specifications.
The tool addresses the need to securely extract and preserve ChatGPT login session data from an active browser session. It works by reading the authenticated session configuration from a logged-in ChatGPT instance and converting it into an auth.json file that conforms to Codex standards, enabling local backup and reuse of credentials.
This tool is suited for users who want to maintain offline backups of their ChatGPT authentication state or integrate their existing ChatGPT sessions with Codex-based applications. It targets developers and users comfortable working with local credential files who need a bridge between ChatGPT's web authentication and Codex's configuration format. The approach prioritizes local export rather than cloud-based credential management, making it appropriate for those preferring to keep sensitive session data on their own machines.
The project shows minimal development activity with no recent commits or ongoing maintenance signals visible in the repository.
