This doesn't make any sense to me, and I know of no other AI front end using local LLM models requiring an account signup.

If this system is entirely locally installed and all data is on my system, how can "the Open WebUI...ever exposed to external access" (and what does that mean - exposed on the Internet, or exposed locally?) be affected by my having an account on your Web site?

Until that question is answered, I have to be suspicious about the claim that everything in the system remains on my system and I can't use this tool until it is explained to me.
