Fitbit users will soon be allowed to log in with their Google Account as the tech giant continues consolidating the platform.
This summer, current Fitbit users will have the option of logging in using a Google Account as the tech giant continues integrating the fitness platform into its own.
It’s still optional for now. Back in September 2022, Fitbit updated its support page (opens in new tab) to state “existing Fitbit accounts will be supported ‘until at least early 2025” when everyone will be required to use a Google Account. So, you still have a couple of years’ leeway with the old login, according to the announcement (opens in new tab), unless you’re a new adopter. Around the same time, Fitbit will begin requiring future Fitbit users to use their Google Account credentials to register on the fitness platform.
In the same post, Google attempts to sweeten the deal by outlining several benefits of making the change. The company states using a single login offers greater convenience by “making it easier for you to manage all your connected apps and paired devices – plus all your information is in one place.
