OpenAI Implements Advanced Security Measures for ChatGPT Accounts Amid Rising Cyber Threats
OpenAI has introduced a new security feature called Advanced Account Security for ChatGPT users who are at higher risk of targeted hacking attacks. This opt-in feature is designed for individuals such as journalists, researchers, and political dissidents who use ChatGPT for sensitive tasks. The security enhancements include disabling password-based logins in favor of physical security keys or passkeys, improved account recovery options, and shortened sign-in sessions to mitigate account takeover risks. Additionally, users who opt for this feature will have their conversations excluded from AI model training, enhancing privacy. OpenAI has partnered with Yubico to offer discounted YubiKey devices to users.
