ChatGPT adds PIN-protected "locked chats" for enhanced privacy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

OpenAI has introduced a new "locked chats" feature for ChatGPT that allows users to protect sensitive conversations with a four-digit PIN or biometric authentication like Face ID or Touch ID. These locked chats are stored in a separate section and do not appear in the regular chat history or search results. However, the feature does not provide end-to-end encryption, and resetting the PIN will permanently delete all locked chats and associated content. AI

IMPACT Enhances user privacy for sensitive conversations within ChatGPT, though it does not offer end-to-end encryption.
