Perplexity Login is simple when it works — visit perplexity.ai/login, choose Email, Google, or Apple, and you’re in. But because Perplexity uses a passwordless system, your entire login flow depends on receiving a one-time passcode or Magic Link, small issues like spam filtering, VPNs, or Apple Relay delays can turn a fast login into a slow one. And if you’re using multiple AI tools every day, that friction adds up fast.
That’s where GlobalGPT helps — an all in one platform that gives you GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, Sora 2 Pro, and Perplexity-style search without juggling OTP emails or switching accounts.
What Is Perplexity and Why Does It Use a Passwordless Login System?
Perplexity’s login experience is built around simplicity and security. Instead of storing passwords—which can be reused or leaked—the platform relies entirely on one-time passcodes (OTP) and Magic Links.
Passwordless login reduces account recovery issues and ensures that only users with access to their email can authenticate.
