Details to cover

  • OpenAI credentials now support both API key and OpenAI Account (ChatGPT) authentication for the OpenAI Chat Model node.
  • OpenAI Account authentication lets users connect a ChatGPT/OpenAI account without entering an API key.
  • The connection uses an OpenAI device-code login flow: open the OpenAI login page, enter the shown code, then continue in n8n.
  • In the OpenAI Chat Model node, Authentication can be set to API Key or OpenAI Account.
  • When using OpenAI Account authentication, n8n loads models from the ChatGPT/Codex account backend and defaults to gpt-5.4-mini.
