OpenAI has introduced a new "locked chats" feature to protect users’ more sensitive conversations with ChatGPT. ChatGPT now lets you lock sensitive chats behind a PIN. News AI ChatGPT now lets you lock sensitive chats behind a PIN Locked chats aren’t a form of end-to-end encryption, however.
With it enabled, you can decide whether a past exchange appears in your regular chat history, pinned chats and conversation search. To access your locked chats, you’ll need to input a 4-digit PIN. On an iPhone or Android phone, you can also use authentication systems like Face ID to access those conversations.
Either way, you’ll find your private conversations grouped under a new project titled "Locked chats." OpenAI envisions locked chats mostly as a way to prevent people in public or someone you hand your phone to from seeing your conversations with ChatGPT. What they aren’t is a form of end-to-end encryption or a way to skirt OpenAI’s legal obligations if you get in trouble with your workplace or the law. The company says so explicitly in a newly published support page, where it also notes locked chats won’t automatically change your model training settings, or how long OpenAI retains your private conversations.
ChatGPT gets a locked folder for chats you want to keep private. ChatGPTโs latest feature will keep your chats shielded from prying eyes.
That said, if you need to reset your account PIN for any reason, doing so will delete all of your locked chats, alongside any files you’ve uploaded to their project space.
