Again -- Codex client auth forces WhatsApp code to a dead number — but ChatGPT/Codex web log in fine

Hi Eason, I’m sorry this issue resurfaced. We’ve applied a mitigation for the Codex phone-verification loop on your account. Please try signing in to Codex Desktop or CLI again. If you are still redirected to verification for the old phone number, please reply with the exact time and time zone of the attempt, along with whether you used Codex Desktop or CLI, and we’ll continue investigating. Best, Jordan | OpenAI Support
