Why can’t I sign up for ChatGPT?
If you are getting an error message when trying to sign up for OpenAI’s ChatGPT, then don’t panic just yet.
As this has become popular extremely fast, it could simply be that the servers are running at capacity or just overloaded, or your browser cookies or cache may be causing you issues.
If you have selected signup then you may get the following error message after choosing a password:
“Signup currently unavailable, please try again later“
But don’t worry as there are a few quick and easy ways to get around this error and get you signed up and logged in, with access to the features.
How to fix ChatGPT Signup Unavailable
Signing up for chatgpt should be a simple and easy process! But if you are unable to do this and having technical difficulties, then following the tips below should help get you back on track. Then you can see what answers the AI has to offer you.
1. Different web browser
The first thing to do when not able to signup to ChatGPT is to try using a different web browser. There could be an issue with one of your web browser’s settings that prevents you from being able to sign up. Or it could even be a cache/ cookie problem.
If you only have Microsoft Edge installed on your Windows computer then you can easily install alternative browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
2. Private browser
Try running your web browser in private/incognito. This can help resolve many issues when having problems trying to create an account on a website, or if you are having signing-in issues like the one you are having with ChatGPT.
3. Try using a VPN service
A VPN also known as a virtual private network can be used to change your IP address and location. So if you do have a VPN service available then try using this as it could be an issue with your connection settings.
Unfortunately, if you do not have a VPN service then most of them you do need to pay a monthly fee.
A quick google search will advise you of some decent VPN services that are available such as NordVPN or SurfShark.
4. Signup with Microsoft Account
Instead of trying to sign up manually with your email address click the button which says Continue with Microsoft Account then follow the steps to link up your MS account.
If you do not have a Microsoft account then you can create one for free.
5. Try again later
If none of the above methods have helped resolve the error message that you are having when trying to sign up to Microsoft ChatGPT then simply try signing up later on or the next day.
Because ChatGPT is very new the servers could be getting overwhelmed resulting in not being able to sign up for the ChatGPT service, so patience is key here.
Conclusion
That brings me to the end of this troubleshooting guide on resolving not being able to sign up for Microsoft ChatGPT. I hope one of the above methods was able to resolve the problem for you and you can now take full advantage of this new AI.
