Excellent Security Features

  • Least privilege – only request the scopes, storage access, and network permissions you need
  • Codex cloud interacts directly with your codebase, so it needs stronger security than many other ChatGPT features. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Clear security principles documented: least privilege, explicit user consent, defense in depth
  • OAuth 2.1 support for custom authentication with MCP authorization spec
  • MFA support for Codex cloud accounts
