I am using the webiste chat openai com, with a premium pass. I authenticated using my Google account. How can I switch the authentication method to login and and password?

Hi,

I’ve got the same issue. Have you found the solution ?

But this is not going to work, right? They will not see ChatGPT 4.

Is there still no update? I also registered for ChatGPT with access via Google API and cannot log in using just email and password. Why?

I greatly appreciate the service you provide, but I would like to report an issue that is causing significant difficulties in managing invoices. Currently, it is not possible to change the access method, which prevents the person responsible for downloading invoices from accessing the Google account.

This limitation is creating substantial problems for our organization. I kindly request that you consider introducing an option to change the access method, to facilitate administrative and accounting management.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your positive response.

thumbs up for this featured request, you are not even allowed to delete your account and create a new one with the same email address

I have read the following OpenAI article provided above :

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936824-can-i-change-my-authentication-method

I wish OpenAI would implement a way to switch login method from Google to Email/Password authentication.

I’m in the process of relying less and less on Google authentication everywhere and switch all I can to Email/Password.
For most platforms, it’s pretty straightforward. I wish it was for OpenAI too.

Also, in ChatGPT parameters, I have set an authentified link to my Google Drive too (to import files, etc.).
Though I wish to rely less on Google Auth, I’ll still use Google Drive for a while.

I believe changing the global login method from Google to Email/Pwd should not cut the Google Drive set in parameters and both should remain independant from one another.

Please implement this.
Thank you.

I was really surprised when I found out that changing the login method is not possible.

The newest explanation states:
“Changing or switching the authentication method used to sign in to ChatGPT is generally not supported - even if you delete your account.”

But why?

I find this situation quite upsetting. I initially signed up with Google Authentication, but now I want to switch to using an email address and password. However, it seems that this change is not possible in any way.

Can anyone explain why this restriction exists? Is there any work around or plan to allow users to change their login method?

Thank you.

This is ridiculous, our company is migrating off Google so my ChatGPT account will be unrecoverable.
