It requires an Apple authorization plug-in for macOS sessions.

Codex anywhere and everywhere, all the time. Now your Mac doesn’t have to be unlocked for Codex to use your computer. From your phone, Codex can securely use apps on your Mac, even when the screen is off and locked. https://developers.openai.com/codex/app/computer-use#locked-use
