ChatGPT could soon let you lock chats behind a PIN or fingerprint

Fixing Temporary Chat's biggest drawback.

ChatGPT could soon let you lock chats behind a PIN or fingerprint

OpenAI is reportedly developing a new feature for ChatGPT that would allow users to lock their chats behind a PIN or fingerprint. This feature, spotted in the latest ChatGPT Android build, aims to provide a way for users to save sensitive conversations without them appearing in their regular history, search results, or sidebar. Locked chats would differ from Temporary Chats, which are not saved to the user's ChatGPT history but can't be revisited later.

With this latest development, OpenAI is working to give users more control over their privacy by creating a privacy boundary for Memory, allowing new information from locked conversations to personalize other locked chats without cluttering regular conversations. This feature would make it easier for users to keep conversations about personal projects, finances, or other sensitive topics out of prying eyes.
