Recommended action: Close other codex login processes / whatever holds 1455 and 1457; or use device auth or API key login. Option: Close other codex login processes / whatever holds 1455 and 1457; or use device auth or API key login. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: codex login while another login server/process holds the callback ports Steps: 1. Find the process on ports 1455/1457 (lsof -i :1455) and stop it 2. Retry codex login 3. Alternatively codex login --device-auth or --with-api-key Expected: The error no longer appears.
