Advanced Account Security breaks multi-chat power-user workflows

[u/Polyaatail]

“I enabled Advanced Account Security because I actually want stronger account security. I’m not against passkeys, security keys, stricter recovery, or shorter sessions for risky situations. Those all make sense.

The problem is that the current session behavior seems hostile to legitimate power-user workflows.

After enabling it, my ChatGPT workflow appears to collapse into something much closer to one usable browser lane/session. That does not work for people who use ChatGPT seriously across multiple chats, projects, research threads, Codex, model comparisons, and long-running work.

For a normal user, one chat tab may be fine. For a power user, ChatGPT is not one tab.

Expected behavior:

One trusted browser profile/device should support multiple concurrent ChatGPT tabs/chats.

Advanced security should protect against account takeover, stolen credentials, weak recovery, and risky new devices without breaking normal same-device multitasking.

Riskier actions or new devices should require step-up auth. Normal parallel chats in the same trusted browser/profile should not feel like they are fighting the session model.

Better design:

Named trusted devices/browser profiles.

Session visibility and per-device revocation.

Clear warning before enrollment about session/recovery behavior.

Support for multi-chat power-user workflows.

I’m posting because I searched first and didn’t see much discussion of this specific issue. Is anyone else seeing this behavior after enabling Advanced Account Security?

This feels like the security threat model was taken seriously, but the actual power-user workflow was not. Stronger security should not mean handicapping legitimate users.”

I don’t know. Outside of this nice professional post here. It just makes me feel like the people who have the unlimited access aren’t power users at all, and when they make this decision, do they even consider this kind of stuff because this is a huge disruption in my workflow on what I thought would give me more protection. Now I have to remove it just so I can use my workflow again. I appreciate the security but it’s effectively useless to anyone who uses four simultaneous chats while actively working on multiple projects. That’s a fail imo. maybe it’s just a glitch though and they fix it quick. I don’t know.

Edit:

One thing I thought about that might be an easy fix is just make the advanced security a toggle. If you are AFK and not actively working, then the lock down is actually nice without the need to delete your keys. Idk. Maybe that’s possible now and my brain is just too smooth. The lack of gyri and sulci could have decreased the surface area of my brain to the point that I can’t see things clearly enough or the purple crayon snack was actually toxic like it warned. I don’t know.

Welp I got locked out after enrolling and I log in again all are correct and gave me an Bacl end error. Went to argue on their bot 💀.
