  "account": "Google Health has discontinued the option for users to log in using their Fitbit account credentials. The company had indicated this change was coming since 2022. Google acquired Fitbit in 2021, and it has been warning users that accessing Fitbit (now Google Health) would require a Google account. Despite pushing back the deadline earlier this year, the extended deadline has now passed. The latest version of Google Health version 5.08 removes this option, requiring users to log in with their Google account. Google also announced that any data not migrated from legacy Fitbit accounts to Google accounts will be deleted.",
  "summary": "To be fair, we've known this was coming for years now.",
