Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex desktop app on macOS — in-app browser.
What feature would you like to see?
Please add support for macOS Apple Passwords AutoFill in the Codex in-app browser.
When a website requires sign-in, the in-app browser should be able to offer saved passwords and passkeys through Apple Passwords, like a normal macOS browser.
Why is this useful?
Without it, users must manually enter credentials or switch to another browser, interrupting work that needs an authenticated site.
Desired behavior
- The in-app browser presents Apple Passwords AutoFill using the native macOS experience.
- Passwords and passkeys remain private: Codex should never be able to read or expose credential values.
- Authentication still requires user interaction and approval before any credential is used.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the macOS in-app browser integration and its authentication handling, then identify the native Apple Passwords AutoFill path and relevant platform documentation. Done means the browser offers approved passwords and passkeys without exposing credential values.
