OpenAI has introduced Advanced Account Security, a new opt-in feature designed to protect ChatGPT accounts from unauthorized access, especially for users handling sensitive information. It replaces traditional passwords with passkeys or hardware security keys, making accounts resistant to phishing and credential theft.
Once enabled, email and SMS recovery options are disabled, and users must rely on secure credentials and recovery keys.
The system also shortens login sessions, provides alerts for new sign-ins, and allows users to monitor active sessions. This reflects a shift toward stronger, zero trust security models for protecting AI accounts.
