Fitbit moving ahead with Google account transition by removing Google sign-in

• Fitbit begins alerting users to the coming phase out as it switches to basic Google accounts for signing in.
• The company sees this as a good change for users as it can now offer better security and more while being centralized under a single Google account.
• Devices can begin to be linked with Google accounts in 2023 with Fitbit accounts disappearing by early 2025.

As part of the main website change, the single account transition is happening.

The transition away from its own accounts is starting to show up in favor of users using their Google accounts. The sign-in page on the website has begun to deliver a message to users. "We are removing the option to log in to your account on fitbit.com with your Google credentials to support an improved experience coming soon."

The email and password used to sign into the platform should be remembered by users, according to the company.

Users can access their workout and sleep data with either a dedicated account or by signing in. Beginning at some point next year, the company will allow some of its devices to be used with accounts from the internet giant. The company will allow you to give consent for your data to be transferred to your account.

The support for Fitbit accounts will no longer be available in the early months of the next decade. This change is a welcome one for users as it brings a single login for multiple services, stronger account security, centralized privacy controls, and more features from the internet, such as the one featured on the fitness tracker.
