You will learn the simple, safe steps to make your first ChatGPT account.

3 min read Always free

Making an account sounds big, but it is just a few steps. You can go slow.

An account is your own private space. It keeps your chats just for you.

You will need an email and a password you can remember. ChatGPT also sends a short one-time code by text or email to check you are a real person. That step is normal and safe.

There is no wrong move here. If you get stuck, you can simply start over.

Try this
  1. Go to the official ChatGPT website or app.
  2. Tap the Sign up button.
  3. Enter your email and make a password.
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to confirm it is you.
  5. Write your email and password somewhere safe.
