In a notable leap towards advancing the accessibility of its services, OpenAI is reportedly currently testing a new feature that allows users to sign in to third-party applications using their ChatGPT accounts.

The widely popular artificial intelligence (AI) juggernaut brought the development to light on Tuesday, and is beckoning developers willing to integrate this service into their apps.

Since its inception in 2022, ChatGPT has garnered an overwhelming fanbase, based on around 600 million monthly active users, and has become one of the largest consumer applications globally.

The ChatGPT developer seems eager to make the most of this popularity by expanding into various consumer sectors, including online shopping, social media, and personal devices.

The upcoming “Sign in with ChatGPT” feature is anticipated to establish OpenAI on par with major technology companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, which have been offering seamless sign-in options for third-party services.

It is worth outlining that a preview of this feature was provided by OpenAI to developers through Codex CLI, its open-source AI coding tool, letting them connect their ChatGPT Free, Plus, or Pro accounts to their API accounts.
