I'd like to use my plus account directly in my IDE using one of the extensions, but to do that I have to use my email and password to login. However, I signed up with ChatGPT using my Google account.

Can't seem to find where in my OpenAI account to change from a Google login to actually using a regular email and password combo.

How do I do this?

Basically the title.

I signed up using Google as authentication provider.

Now I want to switch to email + password as I need to log in from devices I don't want to sign in into my Gmail account.

I can't figure out how.

I tried to initiate the password reset flow by singing out and clicking the forgot password link. I never received an email.

The support site isn't helpful as it simply says on the page RE resetting the password:

If you don't receive an email, or the reset process doesn't work, check to see if you initially authenticated using your Google or Microsoft account. If you used one of those methods, try logging in with that authentication method instead.

As I don't want to use Google anymore to login this is of no help.

Any tips on how it's done?

Hi there!

Quick question regarding privacy. If you connect(login) to chatgpt using your google account, does openAI receive your phone number from google?

Thanks!

Many users have the same problem: There's still no official way from ChatGPT / OpenAl to switch your account from Google login to a normal password login - which is really frustrating if you ever want to log in without Google.

After testing different methods, I finally found a working solution (for Gmail users):

1. Create a new ChatGPT account using your Gmail address without the dot, for example: [email protected] instead of [email protected]

2. Verify that new account and log out.

3. Then log in again using your original Gmail address with the dot ([email protected]).

Because Gmail ignores dots, both versions go to the same inbox - but ChatGPT treats them as two different accounts. This allows you to set a password and log in without Google, even though it's technically the same Gmail.
