Yubico, the creator of the YubiKey and a leader in phishing-resistant authentication, has announced an industry-first collaboration with OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, to enhance account security for users.
Starting today, users can purchase a custom 2-pack set of YubiKeys through OpenAI’s Advanced Account Security program, designed to provide hardware-backed, phishing-resistant protection for ChatGPT accounts.
The set includes a YubiKey C NFC for mobile tap-to-authenticate use and a YubiKey C Nano for always-in-port laptop access, delivering high-level security for users at greater risk of targeted attacks.
“We are introducing a new model for phishing-resistant security at scale for the AI ecosystem,” said Jerrod Chong, chief executive officer, Yubico.
“This partnership with OpenAI delivers the highest level of protection against phishing with a low-friction user experience.”
“Ultimately, our intent is to drastically reduce the threat of unauthorised access to sensitive data in OpenAI accounts worldwide.”
“We are proud to partner with OpenAI to deliver YubiKeys, the leading security key that offers the strongest way to use passkeys, increasing protection of sensitive user data for the AI frontier.”
“Security keys are one of the best ways to protect accounts from phishing, and Yubico has played a leading role in making that protection practical and accessible”, said Dane Stuckey, chief information security officer, OpenAI,”
“We’ve made YubiKeys a standard part of how we protect OpenAI employees, and with Advanced Account Security, we’re making it easier for ChatGPT users to choose that same kind of phishing-resistant protection when it’s right for them.”
By combining Yubico’s global scale and enterprise-grade reliability with OpenAI’s commitment to user privacy and strong data security, this partnership expands the global adoption of YubiKeys – ensuring the future of AI is more secure against an evolving cyber threats landscape.
Once enrolled, users benefit from the strongest account defence available today through a fast, passwordless experience.
