Dots, OpenAI's agent product, can now take sign-in codes sent to a connected email inbox and use them to finish a login when prompted, TestingCatalog (@testingcatalog) reported on November 7. [RSS.bz](https://rss.bz/post/dot-sign-in-codes-inbox-login) describes the same upgrade: users can allow a dot to use a code once or always let it fill codes in.

[ByteFwd](https://bytefwd.com/openai-dots-connected-apps-availability/)'s guide to Dots also covers email sign-in. OpenAI's own guidance still says users may need to provide a code or take over some security checks, so this applies to supported sign-in flows.

RSS.bz and ByteFwd both describe the inbox sign-in feature.

* Users can approve once or always.

## What we don't know
