The company updated its website’s sign-in page in which it said: “We are removing the option to log in to your account on fitbit.com with your Google credentials to support an improved experience coming soon.
“To prepare for this removal, be sure you know the email address and password you use for Fitbit. If you don’t know your password, click Forgot Password,” it added.
The company further mentioned that “for more information about your Fitbit account, including how to find and change your email address, see our help article”.
