OpenAI Launches Advanced Account Security for High-Risk ChatGPT Users
OpenAI has introduced Advanced Account Security as an opt-in setting for ChatGPT users who are at elevated risk of digital attacks—activists, journalists, executives, and others. The feature provides phishing-resistant sign-in and more secure account recovery flows, giving high-risk users a hardened option beyond standard two-factor authentication.
Why It Matters
The targeted audience—not general users but people specifically at elevated attack risk—suggests OpenAI is responding to documented incidents of account compromise among high-profile users, and positions ChatGPT account security at par with the enterprise-grade protections offered by Google and Microsoft for similar use cases.
