OpenAI Considers New Login Feature for Third-Party Apps

OpenAI is investigating (via TechCrunch) the potential of integrating the "Login with ChatGPT" feature into third-party applications, which could significantly expand its role in the digital services sector.

Currently, OpenAI is assessing developer interest in this feature that would enable users to log into various services using their ChatGPT account. This could provide a competitive alternative to similar offerings from Apple, Google, and Microsoft, which already offer quick access to third-party applications.

ChatGPT is rapidly gaining popularity, boasting around 600 million active users per month. OpenAI aims to leverage this success to broaden its offerings in online shopping, social networking, and other services.

Previously, the company launched a beta version of the ChatGPT login feature for developers in Codex CLI – an AI-driven programming tool. Developers can link their ChatGPT Free, Plus, or Pro accounts to the API. Users on Plus and Pro plans were offered bonuses in the form of API credits.

Currently, the company is actively gathering data on potential partners by asking developers about their audience size and current monetization models. It remains unclear when this feature will be available to the general public.
