ChatGPT can log into your web accounts without you now - but should you let it?

SMRTR summary

ChatGPT can now log into your online accounts automatically by storing session cookies in its built-in browser, a feature available to Pro and Plus users through ChatGPT Work. While OpenAI says it never sees your passwords, security experts warn the real risk is session hijacking, where attackers exploit the active login session rather than stealing credentials. Experts recommend starting with low-stakes websites and avoiding financial or healthcare accounts.
