ChatGPT now has a security history — a section where you can view recent events on your account. It helps you spot an unfamiliar sign-in or a change to important settings faster.
What events the log shows
The security history lists sign-ins and sign-outs, as well as changes to multi-factor authentication, passkeys and other security settings. Each event shows the time, approximate location and device.
This data isn’t always perfect: the location may only be approximate, and a device may not appear under the name the user knows it by. But the log itself gives you an important starting point for checking suspicious activity.
Where to find the history
In the web version of ChatGPT, open settings, go to the security and login section, then select the security history. If the feature doesn’t show up yet, the update may simply not have reached that particular account — access is rolling out gradually.
If you see an action you don’t recognize, don’t stop at reviewing the log: end sessions you don’t need, change your password, turn on or double-check two-factor authentication and remove any unknown passkeys.
Why it matters
Chatbots increasingly hold personal notes, documents, work files and connected services. So protecting your account is becoming just as important as protecting your email or cloud storage.
The new page is no substitute for caution. Don’t enter your password on pages opened from a link in a random email, and don’t share verification codes with anyone over messaging apps.
