change from Google login to Fitbit login

[USFlibwalker]

I want to change from Google login. My employer is offering a wellness challenge and I must provide my Fitbit UN/PW to the app my employer selected. I DO NOT want to share my Google UN/PW with other apps.

I searched the community and found a 2014 post, but I think that Fitbit has changed the process. I don't see any useful info in the user manual, the community, or the app.

Hi @USFlibwalker you can't change back once you switch over to the Google account. This is a new change, as we will all be required to have a Google account by 2025. You might be able to begin a new account, using a different email address, but not a Google account. You'd lose any activity, but it might be the only way to keep your Google account secure.

@USFlibwalker  I'm sorry, but answers from older posts won't help.  They are out of date.  Also, all new accounts must be Google accounts.  @Odyssey13 is correct.  You can't go back to a Fitbit account.  The only way to participate in your challenge is by supplying your Google UN/PW.

I created another Google account, paired the device to that account, shared
my UN/PW with the fitness app, and the fitness app is able to import the
Fitbit data.

I appreciate the support of the community in answering my questions
promptly.

This is good to know. Each year we do corporate sponsored challenges which use an app that links to the fitbit account,  and I had no problem with using that login and keeping it linked, but to my personal Google account? No, thank you! I have not yet moved my Fitbit account to Google and I'm not sure I want to.

This is definitely a privacy issue. Considering how many companies
experience breaches and ransom attacks, I choose not to share passwords,
contacts, etc. whenever possible.
