ChatGPT Keeps Asking You to Re-Choose Your Account — It's a Server-Side Bug, Not Your Browser

RustyBreaker · reddit · 2026-08-22

Multiple users suddenly hit a "Choose an account to continue" screen on every ChatGPT refresh today. The poster ran exhaustive troubleshooting—multiple browsers, cleared site data, disabled extensions, a fresh Chrome profile, proxy/DNS checks, and independent cookie persistence tests—and found the culprit isn't local: authentication cookies like Secure-next-auth.session-token persist fine after browser restarts, and clicking the account logs straight in without a password. Verdict: a ChatGPT-side auth/account-selection bug or rollout issue. Don't reset your browser or PC; wait for OpenAI to fix it.
