OpenAI rolled out a locked-chats privacy feature in ChatGPT that protects selected conversations with a PIN or biometric authentication

Feature update Provisional 86% confidence first seen

OpenAI began rolling out a feature in ChatGPT that lets users lock specific conversations using a four-digit PIN or Face ID/Touch ID, making them accessible only in a dedicated Locked Chats section. The update does not change retention or other broader settings, but resetting or forgetting the PIN permanently deletes the locked chats and related locked-only data.
