Troubleshooting

OpenAI/ChatGPT does not currently allow users to update their email address so you will need to make a new account. You can contact OpenAI via their Privacy Request Portal to delete your old account and cancel any subscriptions you may have.It’s worth noting that you will not be able to transfer your ChatGPT history or workplaces to a new account.

You should check to see if you initially authenticated your account using your Google or Microsoft log-ins. If you did, then try logging back in with that authentication method instead.
