OpenAI Starts Sign in with ChatGPT Beta on Partner Plugins and Sites
The account-linking beta begins with Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase and Vercel while keeping plugin permissions as a separate approval step.
OpenAI began rolling out Sign in with ChatGPT in beta on July 29 across selected plugins and partner websites. The first named services are Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase and Vercel, giving users a ChatGPT-branded route to create or connect an account on participating products.
What changed
On supported plugins inside the ChatGPT plugin directory, users can choose the new sign-in option when establishing an account connection. Participating partner sites can also present Sign in with ChatGPT as a way to create a new account or link an existing one. OpenAI describes the feature as a beta and says the rollout starts with the six named partners rather than the full plugin ecosystem.
The identity exchange and plugin authorization remain separate steps. OpenAI says the sign-in action shares a user’s name, email address and profile picture when one is available. A user must still review and approve the access requested by each plugin independently. That distinction matters because logging into a partner service does not, by itself, grant the plugin every permission it may request inside ChatGPT.
Why it matters
The beta places ChatGPT alongside established sign-in choices at the account-creation layer of partner software. For users, the immediate benefit is fewer account-setup steps on supported products. For plugin developers and partner sites, it creates a consistent identity path tied to a ChatGPT account while leaving app permissions behind a separate consent screen.
The initial partner list also spans several types of work software: data and app building, code hosting, customer management, knowledge tools and deployment infrastructure. That makes the test broader than a single product category, although OpenAI has not said how quickly participation will expand.
What remains uncertain
The release note does not provide a general-availability date. It also does not specify geographic availability, enterprise administrator controls or the technical authentication protocol behind the beta. Those omissions limit what organizations can infer about deployment policy or long-term support. Users should continue to inspect the permissions shown for each plugin, because the separate approval step determines what access an app receives after sign-in.
Status
Confirmed. OpenAI’s official ChatGPT release notes document the beta, initial partners, shared profile fields and separate app-access approval. Internal confidence is medium because one vendor source supports the announcement and the note does not include independent adoption or security evidence.
