Codex Account Switcher

Manage multiple OpenAI Codex identities (e.g. personal vs. work) by swapping the authentication token file.

Usage

1. List Accounts

Show saved accounts (active one is marked with ACTIVE on the right). Default output is compact.

• --verbose includes refresh age + token TTL (debug)
• --json outputs the verbose info as JSON

./codex-accounts.py list

To include emails/diagnostics:

./codex-accounts.py list --verbose

2. Add an Account

Interactive wizard to capture login(s).

• Always starts a fresh browser login (codex logout && codex login) so you explicitly choose the identity to capture.
• After each login it saves a snapshot.
• In an interactive terminal it asks if you want to add another.
• When invoked non-interactively (e.g. via Moltbot), it runs single-shot (no "add another" prompt).
• When naming an account, press Enter to accept the default name (local-part of the detected email, e.g. oliver from oliver@…).

./codex-accounts.py add

3. Switch Account

Instantly swap the active login.

./codex-accounts.py use work

4. Auto-Switch to Best Quota

Check all accounts and switch to the one with most weekly quota available.

./codex-accounts.py auto
./codex-accounts.py auto --json

Output:

🔄 Checking quota for 2 account(s)...

  → sylvia... weekly 27% used
  → oliver... weekly 100% used

✅ Switched to: sylvia
   Weekly quota: 27% used (73% available)

All accounts:
   sylvia: 27% weekly ←
   oliver: 100% weekly
