This issue is a duplicate of closed issues #376 and #430.

If you're seeking a basic interface intended for a single user without login functionality, I recommend considering the Lite version, which can be found here. It should be noted that this version can only store chat history locally in your browser, so they are not portable between different browsers/profiles/machines without manual export and import.

Alternatively, if you desire additional features such as cross-device chat history, RAG, and OpenAI API connection, creating a single account on the full version should suffice for you. Authentication is local to your instance, there is no sharing of information with external parties. Currently, session timeouts are not implemented, so your account will remain logged in indefinitely until you logout (though this is under reconsideration in #566).
