As ChatGPT quickly becomes one of the largest consumer applications globally, with approximately 600 million monthly active users, OpenAI hopes to leverage this popularity to further expand its business in areas such as online shopping, social media, and personal devices. The "Log in with ChatGPT" feature is expected to help OpenAI compete with other major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, which offer users a variety of online services, including convenient third-party application logins.
This month, OpenAI previewed the "Log in with ChatGPT" experience for developers in Codex CLI, an open-source AI coding tool from the company. This feature allows developers to connect their ChatGPT free, Plus, or Pro accounts with their API accounts. OpenAI offered $5 in API credits to Plus users and $50 in API credits to Pro users to encourage them to use the feature.
OpenAI seems very interested in integrating its login service with multiple companies' applications. In the developer interest form, OpenAI asked companies to describe their user base, ranging from small businesses with fewer than 1,000 weekly users to large applications with over 100 million weekly users. Additionally, the form also asked developers about their current charging methods and whether they are customers of OpenAI API.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, mentioned in 2023 that the company might launch the "Log in with OpenAI" feature in 2024. However, it now appears that OpenAI is more seriously working on building this function in 2025. It is unclear when this login feature will be available to ChatGPT users or how many companies have signed up to participate.
