ChatGPT Introduces PIN‑Protected Locked Chats for Added Privacy
OpenAI rolls out a new Locked Chats feature that lets users secure individual conversations with a four‑digit PIN or biometric authentication, keeping sensitive dialogue hidden from casual device sharing.
OpenAI has added a privacy layer to ChatGPT called Locked Chats. Users can now move any conversation into a dedicated section that is only accessible after entering a four‑digit PIN, Face ID, or Touch ID on supported devices.
How it works
- Lock a chat from the conversation menu; it disappears from the regular history and search results.
- Locked chats share a separate memory pool when Memory is enabled, so new details stay isolated from normal chats.
- Resetting the PIN permanently erases all locked content, files, and associated memory.
The feature is available across Free, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu tiers, but not on the Healthcare plan or for temporary, archived, group, shared‑link, scheduled‑task, or meeting‑recording chats.
Why it matters for GPU / AI infrastructure
As large language models become everyday tools, data‑handling guarantees grow critical for enterprises that run inference on GPU clusters. Locked Chats give developers a simple, client‑side control to prevent accidental exposure of proprietary prompts or customer data before it ever reaches the inference pipeline, complementing server‑side encryption and access‑control policies.
