ChatGPT login help
ChatGPT login vs OpenAI login: what is different?
ChatGPT is a product from OpenAI, but users may see different surfaces: ChatGPT app, OpenAI account pages, API platform, billing pages, and authentication domains.
This page never collects passwords. Use it as a checklist, then sign in only on official domains.
Intent
What this page solves.
User is confused by ChatGPT/OpenAI surfaces.
OpenAI account is broader
OpenAI account pages can relate to identity, billing, security, developer platform, and organization access.
API platform is separate from ChatGPT use
Developers may use API keys, project billing, model access, and quota settings. That is not the same as normal ChatGPT chat.
