What is gpt-outlook-register?

This Python project automates the process of registering ChatGPT accounts using Outlook email addresses, without opening a web browser at any point. The README is written in Chinese (Mandarin). The tool works by making direct HTTP requests that mimic the sequence a browser would follow during sign-up, including solving the anti-bot challenge that OpenAI calls a Sentinel token, and fetching the one-time verification code from an Outlook inbox via the IMAP email protocol. The project can be run in two ways. The first is a web interface that you launch locally in a terminal and then open in a browser. This interface lets you paste in a list of Outlook accounts, trigger registration for all of them at once, and watch progress in real time with color-coded logs. The second is a command-line mode for registering a single account by passing credentials directly as a string argument. Each Outlook account needs to be supplied in a specific four-part format: the email address, password, a Microsoft application client ID, and a Microsoft refresh token. This lets the tool authenticate to Outlook's IMAP service using OAuth (a token-based login method) rather than a plain password, which is what modern Outlook accounts require to access email programmatically. The tool also supports using self-hosted Cloudflare temporary email addresses as an alternative to Outlook, for cases where you do not want to supply real Outlook credentials. After a successful registration, the tool saves the resulting ChatGPT session credentials to a JSON file, including the session token, access token, and other values needed to use the account programmatically. Environment variables control things like proxy settings, timeouts, and whether to attempt fetching a Codex-specific OAuth refresh token during registration.
