OpenAI's New OAuth Flow Still Requires a localhost Redirect, Paining Cloud Agent Developers
lucasmeijer · x · 2026-09-30
Developer lucasmeijer complains that OpenAI's new OAuth flow, like Anthropic's, requires a redirect to localhost — a poor experience for cloud-hosted agents that can't rely on local callbacks.
The complaint highlights a shared engineering pain point in the coding agent ecosystem: auth flows still assume local development, leaving cloud-deployed agents with a clunky onboarding experience.
