Description
I am using OpenAI ChatGPT Desktop App (Chat + Codex) in my MacBook without issues until I installed passkeys.
After i installed passkeys, it is forcing me to login several times whenever I clicked on one of the past chat conversations even though i logged in successfully.
I removed/uninstalled the app, deleted all references, caches, passkeys (from web account too) etc. from my machine. Then I reinstalled the app and logged-in successfully but the problem persists. I need an accurate resolution and guidance on this issue. I tried all possible options available on internet but no use.
Desktop app version: 26.818.61809

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated-login behavior on macOS using the reported ChatGPT Desktop App version 26.818.61809, with passkeys installed and when opening past conversations. No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue; done means identifying a reproducible cause and verifying that opening past chats no longer forces repeated authentication.
