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.
