How to tell if your AI platforms' accounts have been hacked

Hackers can infiltrate accounts on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, as stated by TechCrunch. To safeguard your accounts, employ unique passwords stored in a password manager and enable multi-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security. ChatGPT and Perplexity offer MFA, while Claude does not, instead sending a login link to your email.

Each platform provides a method to identify suspicious devices and log out of them. On ChatGPT, navigate to "Settings," "Security and Login," and "Active Sessions" to view logged-in devices. If unfamiliar devices appear, log out of them or all devices. To change your password, log out and follow the prompts to reset it. Claude requires logging into "Settings," then "Account," to view active sessions.

Hover over suspicious sessions, click the three dots, and choose "Log out" or "Terminate." To log back in, click on the login link sent to your email. Perplexity lacks a logged-in device list; instead, click "All settings" after selecting your username, then "Sign out of all sessions." You'll receive a unique six-digit code via email to log in or click "Sign in" in that email.
