Unable to log in to ChatGPT – Authenticator code always shows “Incorrect code”

Hi OpenAI Community,

I’m unable to log in to my ChatGPT account.

I normally use “Continue with Google” to sign in. Recently, I was logged out of ChatGPT on both my phone and laptop. When I try to log in again, Google asks me to enter the 6-digit Google Authenticator code. That’s fine.

The problem is that the code from Google Authenticator is always rejected with:

“Incorrect code. Please try again.”

I have already tried the following:

  • Checked that my phone’s date and time are set automatically.
  • Tried entering a fresh 6-digit Authenticator code.
  • Used “Try another method”, but it only shows “Authenticator app”.
  • Changed/reconfigured the Google Authenticator app successfully.
  • Google confirmed that the Authenticator app has been changed.
  • I also have backup codes available in my Google Account, but ChatGPT/Google’s login flow does not show me an option to use a backup code.
  • I have tried logging in from both my phone and laptop.
  • I contacted OpenAI Support, but I haven’t received a response yet.

I am still able to access the Google account from another device where it is already logged in.

Could someone please advise how I can regain access to my ChatGPT account when the only verification method available is an Authenticator code that is consistently being rejected?

Thank you.
