How to Change or Reset Your ChatGPT Password Safely

To change your ChatGPT password while signed in, open Settings > Account and add or update your password. If you forgot it, log out, go to the ChatGPT login page, enter your email, select Forgot password? and follow the link in the reset email. If you sign in with Google, Apple or Microsoft, you do not have a separate ChatGPT password, so change it with that provider instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I not see a password option in ChatGPT settings?

You probably signed up with Google, Apple or Microsoft. Your password is managed by that provider, not by ChatGPT.

Does changing my ChatGPT password log me out of other devices?

You may need to sign in again on other devices. If you suspect someone else has access, sign out of all devices from your security settings after changing the password.

Can I reset my password without email access?

The reset link is sent to your email, so you need access to it. If you cannot get in, contact OpenAI Support for help.

Final Takeaway

Change your ChatGPT password from Settings > Account, or use Forgot password? on the login page if you cannot remember it. Then add multi-factor authentication or a passkey to keep your account safe.
