Fitbit to make Google account compulsory for new device login from 2023

Fitbit has announced to add support for login with a Google account on new devices in 2023. From next year, you will only be able to use your new Fitbit devices using your Google account. Fitbit has released a help page announcing that it will launch support for Google accounts in 2023.

Fitbit currently provides its products and services separately from Google. To use the Fitbit app, you must have a Fitbit account, not a Google account. Before using the Fitbit app or a Fitbit device, you are required to have a Fitbit account which can be created with information like name, email address, and a password as provided in the Fitbit Privacy Policy. The Google account is only to give you access to various Google services but it isn’t required to start your new device. This will change next year.
