OpenAI Mandates Hardware Passkeys for Cyber Members

OpenAI is updating security requirements for a specific group of enterprise users. The company now mandates the use of hardware-backed passkeys for account access. This requirement specifically applies to members of the Trusted Access Cyber program. These members must use the new authentication method to log into ChatGPT accounts. The move aims to enhance security for users handling sensitive or high-risk data. Hardware-backed passkeys provide a stronger layer of authentication than passwords. This shift signals a move toward phishing-resistant authentication standards in tech. Other organizations may follow suit in requiring hardware security keys for access.
