AI BriefingOpenAI Mandates Hardware-Based Passkeys for Trusted Access Cyber Members
Key point
OpenAI is mandating the use of hardware-based passkeys for TAC members to strengthen security.
Details
To strengthen security for the Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program for security researchers and defenders, OpenAI announced that starting September 1, all individual members will be required to use Hardware-backed passkeys.
This measure is aimed at protecting access to state-of-the-art AI models from phishing and social engineering attacks. To address the vulnerabilities of existing software-based MFA and legacy authentication methods, authentication via non-clonable physical security keys is being set as the standard.
Key details are as follows:
- Target: All individual members of the TAC (Trusted Access for Cyber) program
- Change: Mandatory activation of Advanced Account Security via hardware-based passkeys
- Partnership: Providing a secure environment via YubiKey in partnership with Yubico
- Purpose: Preventing misuse of AI models through account takeover and maximizing security barriers
