• OpenAI, in partnership with Yubico, has launched the Advanced Account Security program, allowing ChatGPT users to protect their accounts with physical security keys.
  • Physical keys like YubiKey C Nano and YubiKey C NFC provide protection against phishing and unauthorized access, even if the password is compromised.
  • Once advanced security is activated, password login is disabled, and account recovery is only possible via backup physical keys; customer support cannot assist.
  • Conversations of users with advanced security enabled are automatically excluded from AI model training, enhancing privacy.
  • OpenAI already uses YubiKey keys internally for employee protection and now offers the same level of security to users.
