ChatGPT Work can retain signed-in web sessions in its built-in browser for future tasks, according to the supplied report. The feature is available to ChatGPT Pro and Plus accounts and stores session information in cookies after a user initially signs in. OpenAI says the model cannot view usernames or passwords and that it asks for confirmation before consequential actions. The report found that some sites may block or later reject access from the cloud browser.
