OpenAI has introduced multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance account security on ChatGPT. Users can enable MFA through the settings on the ChatGPT web page or OpenAI Developer platform, requiring an authenticator app installed on a mobile device. MFA generates ever-changing 6-digit codes that need to be entered at login, along with the username and password. It also provides recovery codes for backup access. While using an authenticator app is considered safer than SMS codes, there have been cases of hackers circumventing MFA. Additionally, users may experience fatigue from frequent verification prompts.
