OpenAI Rolls Out 'Advanced' Security Mode for At-Risk Accounts

OpenAI is rolling out Advanced Account Security for people concerned that their ChatGPT or Codex accounts could be potential targets of phishing attacks. 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. Dubbed Advanced Account Security, the feature enforces strict access controls that would make account takeover attacks very difficult. Such measures are not a new idea in the realm of account security. Google, for example, has offered its Advanced Protection account security tier for nearly a decade . But as mainstream AI services rapidly proliferate around the world, there is a pressing need for an array of basic protections to be put in place.
