At the time of the announcement, no specific start date was given for when this login change would begin, other than just “Beginning this summer.” However, new Fitbit users since then have had the option to register a new Fitbit account using Google. The only sort of concrete deadline that was given was that all Fitbit accounts will need to move over to the new way of logging in sometime in 2025.

By using Google credentials, Fitbit hopes to improve the user experience by making the login process more streamlined and easy. Users who already have Fitbit accounts can also link them to their Google accounts to make the transition go smoothly.
One of the biggest benefits that Google has advertised as part of this change, besides the unified login experience, is to be able to manage all your Fitbit data right from your Google account settings. This means that users will also enjoy having unified privacy controls for their health data.
