Switch Codex accounts

Link the intended Codex installation before detecting and switching its accounts.

Use this for multiple official accounts or multiple Codex installations. Account detection and switching target the Codex linked to the manager, not every Codex installation on the computer.

Steps

  1. Open Codex Client in GetTokenSwitch
  2. Under installation and updates, click the folder button to browse and select the Codex installation
  3. On macOS, select the intended .app; on Windows, select its installation directory. This is not your project folder or the separate configuration-file picker below
  4. Wait for detection, verify the displayed application path, then open Codex Accounts and refresh the account information
  5. Click the target account row and confirm the switch. Save ongoing work before restarting the linked Codex, then check its active account

The folder button is immediately before Uninstall. The screenshot shows a test installation; select the installation you intend to manage.

Select an account and confirm

Codex Accounts showing API status, official accounts, and add, import and export buttons; private data is redacted
Open Codex Accounts from the sidebar. GetToken API status is above the official-account list. The + button adds an account. Only official-account emails and balance amounts are redacted.
Codex account switch confirmation with configuration-preservation notice and Apply and restart button; email is redacted
Selecting an account opens this confirmation. Save ongoing work, check the target, and choose Apply and restart. Choose Cancel to leave the active account unchanged.

If the account is missing, use Add account to open the linked Codex, complete the official sign-in there, then return. You do not need to delete backups or sign out of another account just to detect a different installation.

Troubleshooting

Why is an account I used on this computer missing?

Check the installation path in Codex Client. With multiple installations, choose the intended one using the folder button, then refresh Codex Accounts. Sign in again in that Codex if credentials were cleared or expired. The manager does not scan and switch every independent installation.

Why did importing a backup not change my active account?

Importing saves accounts to the list. Select the target account and confirm the switch, save ongoing work, and restart the linked Codex when prompted. Expired credentials require another official sign-in.

Back up Codex accounts

Export recognized local sign-ins and import them when you need to restore an account.

Add a third-party API

Add your own provider with its endpoint, API Key, protocol, and supported models.
