OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT Security with New Opt-In Feature
- OpenAI has launched an opt-in Advanced Account Security setting for ChatGPT.
- The feature requires passkeys or physical security keys and eliminates email and SMS recovery options.
- Accounts enrolled in this feature are automatically excluded from model training by default.
- OpenAI has partnered with Yubico to offer discounts on security keys for enhanced protection against phishing.
- Members of OpenAI’s “Trusted Access for Cyber” program must enable this security setting by June.
OpenAI’s new Advanced Account Security aims to provide stronger protection for users handling sensitive tasks through ChatGPT, addressing the growing need for robust digital security measures.
By requiring physical security keys and excluding enrolled accounts from model training, OpenAI enhances user control over privacy and data protection, particularly benefiting high-risk individuals like journalists and researchers. (Source)
