The two companies are releasing a pair of “co-branded” YubiKeys — dubbed the YubiKey C NFC and the YubiKey C Nano.

OpenAI has suggested that AAS is a good fit for political dissidents, journalists, researchers, and elected officials — people who engage in politically charged and risky work. One would assume that it might make sense for enterprise users, whose corporate secrets are squirreled away in ChatGPT sessions.

“Ultimately, our intent is to drastically reduce the threat of unauthorized access to sensitive data in OpenAI accounts worldwide,” Yubico CEO Jerrod Chong said in press release announcing the deal.

Security keys are small pieces of hardware that can be tied to digital accounts and enacted through a computer’s USB ports. A unique cryptographic identifier lives on the key, which allows only the person in possession of it to log into a connected account.
