Why does the Codex app now require a phone number during login?

Hey @clown_yanxi, that's a valid concern.

As @EricGT added, it now requires stronger security than other features.

This can also happen due to many factors like updated security policies, anti-abuse protections, regional/account changes, suspicious login detection or because certain features/plans now require a verified phone number.

Hope this helps :)
