Request: Private Chats with Face ID / Passcode for Shared Devices

Hi OpenAI team

I’d like to suggest a feature that could make ChatGPT safer and more personal for users who share their device or account with others — the ability to **create private chats that are locked with a passcode or Face ID.

For example, in a family setting where multiple people use the same device or ChatGPT account, one person might want to keep a conversation private — whether it’s about mental health, personal thoughts, or sensitive topics. Right now, there’s no way to lock a specific chat. Logging out or deleting chats isn’t a good solution.

The idea:

  • Allow users to create a “Private Chat” that’s locked behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.
  • These chats stay hidden until the correct authentication is provided.
  • This keeps sensitive content secure, even when other people use the app.

I believe this small feature would really improve privacy and give users more control over their personal experience.

Thanks for considering it!

There is a simple solution. You can not share the account and use personal accounts for each family member. It is not even allowed in the terms to share the account with others.
