ChatGPT adds locked chats protected by PIN or biometrics
Original title: ChatGPT now lets you lock your chats
OpenAI says locking does not add end-to-end encryption, change retention, or clear prior Memory.
OpenAI said Tuesday that ChatGPT users can lock conversations with a four-digit PIN, Face ID, or Touch ID. Locked chats move to a separate section with their own Memory that does not update regular Memory. The feature is rolling out to Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans, but not ChatGPT for Healthcare.
- Resetting a PIN permanently deletes locked chats, files, and related content.
- Locked chats are kept out of history, pins, and search results.
- Temporary, archived, group, shared-link, scheduled, and meeting chats cannot be locked.
- Rollout began Tuesday and may not be live for every user yet.

The company says the feature is designed for situations where users might be discussing something personal or planning a surprise and want to keep those conversations private when handing their device to friends or family to show them something in another chat.
