Use this article to learn how to use your Google Account to sign in to the Fitbit app.
Important:
- After February 2, 2026, you can no longer access Fitbit with your Fitbit account. To continue using your account, you’ll need to move your Fitbit account to Google.
- A new or existing Google Account will be required to sign up for Fitbit and activate newly released Fitbit and Pixel devices.
- You can use your existing Fitbit account with your Fitbit devices and services for as long as it's supported.
- Your Fitbit data will be deleted when support ends.
What to understand before I move my account
Previously, you needed to create a Fitbit account to use the Fitbit app and sync data between your device and account. Now, Google Accounts give you access to all Google services, including Fitbit. You also get additional benefits, such as:
- A single Google login to manage your connected apps and paired devices.
- Google’s industry-leading privacy and security, along with unified privacy controls.
- Continued commitment to privacy to ensure that your Fitbit health and wellness data remains separate from Google Ads and won’t be used for such.
To check if you already have one, refer to the Google Accounts webpage. For more information, refer to Google accounts for Fitbit: A new way to log in.
Tip: You can not link your Fitbit account to a Google Workspace account. Use a different Google account or create a new one.
Google protects your privacy and makes binding commitments with global regulators. This ensures Fitbit data remains separate from Google Ads data and won't be used for Google ads.
During the migration process, you have the opportunity to review and make changes to your Fitbit data and setup. After that, you can then manage your Fitbit data from your Google Account settings and the Fitbit app.
You'll keep all historical data that you choose to move to your Google Account.

How to fix it |
| Your children need to update their Fitbit accounts |
Before you or your family can move to Google accounts, your children must update their account or be included as part of a Google Family group. Here’s how:
- For each child over the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your country):
- Once their account is updated, your child will have a standard Fitbit account and can move to a Google Account on their own.
- If you still find your child's "Today" tab in the Fitbit app, log out and sign in again with your Fitbit credentials.
- Try to move yourself and the younger members of your family to Google accounts.
