Update Summary

Advanced Account Security adds stronger sign-in requirements and stricter safeguards for personal ChatGPT accounts. It uses passkeys or compatible security keys, disables weaker recovery and sign-in paths, and adds recovery keys, login notifications, and session controls.

Update Details

Security

  • Reduces risk of account takeover (ATO), unauthorized access, and data exposure.
  • Requires stronger sign-in methods such as passkeys or compatible security keys.
  • Disables weaker authentication paths including password sign-in, email/SMS sign-in codes, and email-based account recovery.
  • Adds recovery keys, login notifications, and session management controls for better account protection and visibility.

New Features

  • Optional Advanced Account Security setting for personal ChatGPT accounts.
  • Shorter active sessions to reduce exposure from unattended sessions.

Known Issues

  • Recovery is stricter; if all sign-in methods and recovery keys are lost, account access may be lost.

Hints

  • Users should save their recovery keys and keep access to enrolled passkeys or security keys before enabling this setting.
