OpenAI Trials ‘Sign in with ChatGPT’ Login for Third-Party Apps

Through a Codex CLI preview, OpenAI is surveying developers on using ChatGPT credentials to log into online shopping, social media or other services.

The move would place OpenAI in direct competition with established identity services such as Google Sign-In, Apple ID, and Microsoft Account.

Overview

  • The feature under development would enable users to authenticate third-party applications with their ChatGPT account instead of separate logins.
  • A developer preview launched in early May via the open-source Codex CLI lets users link ChatGPT Free, Plus or Pro accounts to their API keys.
  • OpenAI is soliciting feedback from apps of all sizes—ranging from under 1,000 to over 100 million weekly users—and offering $5 in API credits for Plus sign-ins and $50 for Pro sign-ins.
  • The initiative is part of OpenAI’s push to expand ChatGPT beyond conversational AI into consumer services such as e-commerce and social media.
  • With about 600 million monthly active users, ChatGPT aims to compete with established identity platforms like Google Sign-In and Apple ID, though no public launch date has been set.
