OpenAI Launches Advanced Security Feature with Hardware Key Support for ChatGPT

OpenAI has introduced an optional Advanced Account Security feature for ChatGPT and Codex users to enhance protection against phishing and account takeovers. This update requires users to use passkeys or physical security keys, such as Yubico's hardware devices, instead of traditional passwords. It also removes common recovery methods like email and SMS, relying on backup keys for account recovery. The move addresses growing concerns over the security of AI tools that hold sensitive personal and professional information.
