Login loop, verification email, cookie blocking, session expiry, account switch, password reset, blank screen, browser-specific issues.
ChatGPT account issues are the worst because they often look like "account is broken" when the real cause is browser cookie policy, regional proxy, or which SSO method was used at signup. This hub splits account / login issues into one focused list: login loop, verification email missing, suspicious activity, repeated session expiry, blocked cookies, wrong auth method, account switching, password reset, blank screen, browser-specific failures. Each article fixes exactly one symptom — pick the article that matches yours and ship.
You deleted your ChatGPT account but the monthly charge keeps hitting your card. Most of the time the culprit is an Apple or Google Play subscription deletion never touches. Stop the charges and get a refund.
You paid via Apple in-app purchase but chatgpt.com still shows Free, or Apple and the web both charged you. The root cause is identity binding. Untangle it cleanly, step by step.
Traveling abroad and ChatGPT shows 'not available in your country' (error=unsupported_country) or demands re-verification? Most cases clear by wiping cookies. Full fix-by-cause guide, June 2026.
Built a Custom GPT on a personal Plus account and need it on a Business/Enterprise workspace? There is no per-GPT transfer button. Here is the real migration path that works as of June 2026.
You changed your ChatGPT email, got signed out, and now neither address logs you in. The fastest fix is the 6-digit code in the new inbox (or a password reset). Recover without losing chats.
Phone wiped, authenticator gone, backup codes nowhere? Here is the June 2026 way to recover ChatGPT 2FA access without losing your account or subscription.
You canceled Plus a few days into the billing cycle and lost access with no money back. Here is how to tell whether that is policy, an app-store issue, or a real bug — and how to claim a refund if you qualify.
Plus quietly reverts to Free: GPT-5.5 disappears, the message cap returns, no email. Usually a failed renewal, a bank fraud-block, or an account mismatch. Diagnose the bucket and restore Plus the same day.
Your ChatGPT Team/Business invite shows 'expired' or 'invalid'. Usually a 7-day TTL, an email mismatch, the wrong active workspace, or a domain rule. Fix it without buying a new seat.
Your ChatGPT invoice has no VAT line, no VAT number, or the wrong country rate. Here is the exact billing screen to fix it and get a compliant invoice your accountant accepts.
Two ChatGPT charges on the same card after upgrading or switching plans — usually a web/Apple overlap or a pending auth, not a true duplicate. How to find the real one and get the other refunded.
Requested a ChatGPT data export but the download link email never came — usually a spam filter, the wrong email on file, or a still-processing job. Fastest fixes inside.
ChatGPT says your account is deactivated. Tell an age-verification lock from a policy ban first, then appeal at openai.com/form/appeal with your User ID and Org ID.
Okta/Azure/Google SAML breaks after a metadata or claim change. Re-paste the IdP X.509 cert at chatgpt.com/admin/identity, then check NameID and the email attribute.
You switch ChatGPT workspace or OpenAI org, restart the browser, and land back on the old one. Fix the server-side default and the session-scoped cookie — not a bug, almost always one of five causes.
SMS code accepted, then signup asks for the number again. Fix the number-reuse, VOIP, region, and risk-trigger causes behind the loop.
