# Sign in to ChatGPT

The chat panel is chatgpt.com in a web view. You sign in with your own ChatGPT account, the same way as in a browser. Folio has no account of its own.

## Reuse a browser's sign-in

If you're already signed in to ChatGPT in a browser, Folio can copy that sign-in when you first open the chat panel. It lists the browsers that have one and when each last used ChatGPT. Pick one and choose **Continue with** that browser.

Folio copies only the chatgpt.com and OpenAI sign-in cookies, and only into its own web view. Nothing else is read from the browser.

Supported browsers:

| Browser | What macOS asks first |
| --- | --- |
| Safari | Full Disk Access for Folio, in **System Settings › Privacy & Security** |
| Chrome, Arc, Dia, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, Chromium | Your Mac password, to let Folio use the browser's "Safe Storage" keychain item |

If a browser's sign-in has expired, open chatgpt.com in that browser once, then try again.

## Sign in manually

Choose **Sign In Manually** and use chatgpt.com's own sign-in page in the panel, including Google, Apple, and Microsoft sign-in. Folio's bridge script doesn't run on sign-in pages.

## Change accounts

In **Settings › ChatGPT**, choose **Import Sign-In from a Browser…** to copy a different sign-in, or **Sign Out of ChatGPT…** to remove the session saved in Folio. Signing out of Folio doesn't sign you out of your browsers.
