Such measures are not a new idea in the realm of account security.
Key facts
- Google, for example, has offered its Advanced Protection account security tier for nearly a decade
- People who enable Advanced Account Security can no longer use regular passwords on their accounts
- OpenAI says it has partnered with Yubico to offer lower-cost YubiKey bundles to Advanced Account Security users
- Advanced Account Security also enforces shorter sign-in windows and sessions before a user has to log in again on a device
Summary
For anyone who fears their ChatGPT and Codex accounts might be targeted by attackers, OpenAI announced on Thursday that it is adding an optional new level of account protection that adds an extra layer of security. “People are turning to AI for deeply personal questions and increasingly high-stakes work,” the company said on Thursday in a blog post. People who enable Advanced Account Security can no longer use regular passwords on their accounts. OpenAI says it has partnered with Yubico to offer lower-cost YubiKey bundles to Advanced Account Security users. Crucially, 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.
