""People are turning to AI for deeply personal questions and increasingly high-stakes work. Over time, a ChatGPT account can hold sensitive personal and professional context, and sit at the center of connected tools and workflows.""
""For some people, like journalists, elected officials, political dissidents, researchers, and those who are especially security-conscious, the stakes are even higher.""
""When a user turns on Advanced Account Security, they can no longer seek help from OpenAI's support team for account recovery, because support no longer has access or control over any of the recovery options.""
OpenAI has launched Advanced Account Security, an optional feature that enhances account protection by enforcing strict access controls. Users must use two physical security keys or passkeys instead of regular passwords, significantly reducing phishing risks. Email and SMS recovery options are eliminated, requiring recovery keys or backup passkeys. This initiative is part of OpenAI's broader cybersecurity strategy, addressing the need for enhanced security as AI services become more prevalent. The feature is particularly beneficial for users in high-stakes roles, such as journalists and researchers.
