Use the right Chrome profile
Watch a real Codex profile being added in Orbit. See the Chrome profile menu, the private sign-in handoff and how to prepare a second account.
Before you start: Use this optional guide if more than one provider identity is signed into Chrome. Current Orbit shows an optional side guide: select Next after opening the correct Chrome profile.
Real Orbit and terminal recordings from an isolated Windows setup. Idle pauses are trimmed; a Chrome menu still is labelled. Private sign-in is not completed or shown. Temporary sign-in links and personal profile names are hidden.
Follow along
- Open AI accounts
Settings → AI accounts. Install the provider CLI first.
This recording uses an isolated workspace. No real provider account is authorised.
- Add a separate provider profile
Use Add account for each additional identity.
Name the profile Personal, Work or another label you recognise.
- Start the real sign-in handoff
Continue to sign in opens the official provider login.
Private step: choose your provider identity, enter any password or code, and approve sign-in yourself.
- Choose the correct Chrome profile
Chrome → profile icon at the top right → the profile you want.
If needed, use Add Chrome profile. Signing into Chrome itself is separate from signing into an AI provider.
- If sign-in opens the wrong profile
Copy the original provider sign-in URL into the correct Chrome profile before approving.
Keep the terminal open. Never share the link or copy a completed callback URL.
- Prepare the next account
Refresh accounts after private sign-in. Confirm the correct identity.
Repeat Add account for each extra provider identity. Do not sign out an existing profile just to add another.
- Choose subscription or API billing
Choose Provider subscription or API key, as supported by your provider.
API usage charges and provider subscriptions are separate from your Orbit subscription.
