## AI overview

OpenAI introduces Advanced Account Security, an opt-in setting for ChatGPT accounts that also protects Codex through the same login. It combines stronger sign-in requirements, tighter account recovery, reduced exposure from compromised sessions, and greater visibility into account activity. The setting requires passkeys or physical security keys, disables password-based login and email or SMS recovery, and supports backup passkeys, security keys, and recovery keys.
