OpenAI 周二宣布，用户现在可以锁定 ChatGPT 对话，以便在其他人可能看到其屏幕或设备时，保持敏感聊天的私密性。用户可以使用四位数 PIN 码保护锁定的聊天，或在受支持的设备上使用 Face ID 或 Touch ID。
OpenAI announced on Tuesday that users can now lock ChatGPT conversations to keep sensitive chats private when others may have access to their screen or device. Users can secure their locked chats with a four-digit PIN, or use Face ID or Touch ID on supported devices.
与应用的“临时聊天”不同，后者提供一个不出现在聊天记录中的独立会话，用户可以随时返回“锁定的聊天”。
Unlike the app’s Temporary Chats, which provide a separate session that doesn’t appear in chat history, users can return to Locked Chats at any time.
公司表示，该功能旨在应对用户可能正在讨论私人事务或策划惊喜，而在将设备交给朋友或家人展示其他聊天内容时，希望保持这些对话私密的情况。
The company says the feature is designed for situations where users might be discussing something personal or planning a surprise and want to keep those conversations private when handing their device to friends or family to show them something in another chat.
随着 ChatGPT 越来越多地用于个人对话，锁定聊天的加入为其增加了一层新的隐私保护。当然，虽然锁定聊天可以限制访问，但并不能解决关于敏感信息如何存储或处理的担忧。
The addition of locked chats adds a new layer of privacy to ChatGPT, as the app is increasingly used for personal conversations. Of course, while locking a chat can limit access, it doesn’t address concerns about how sensitive information is stored or handled.
OpenAI 指出，锁定聊天不会创建端到端加密或独立的加密保险库，不会改变聊天的保留时长，不会移除聊天被锁定前 ChatGPT 已记住的信息，也不会改变“为所有人改进模型”设置。
OpenAI notes that locking a chat doesn’t create end-to-end encryption or a separate encrypted vault, change how long it retains the chat, remove information that ChatGPT remembered before a chat was locked, or change the “Improve the model for everyone” setting.
一旦用户锁定聊天，它会移至专门的“锁定的聊天”板块，与常规聊天记录、置顶对话和聊天搜索结果分开存放。
Once users lock a chat, it moves to a dedicated “Locked Chats” section, where it’s kept separate from regular chat history, pinned conversations, and chat search results.
启用记忆功能时，“锁定的聊天”拥有自己独立的记忆，在该板块内的对话之间共享。锁定聊天后发送的新消息可以更新该记忆，但不会更新常规记忆。这意味着来自锁定聊天的新信息不会泄露到常规聊天中。
With Memory enabled, Locked Chats has its own separate memory shared across conversations within the section. New messages sent after locking a chat can update that memory, but don’t update regular Memory. That means new information from locked chats won’t leak into regular chats.
OpenAI 表示，重置 PIN 码会永久删除受先前 PIN 码保护的所有锁定聊天、文件和其他内容。
OpenAI says resetting a PIN permanently deletes all locked chats, files, and other content protected by the previous PIN.
此外，“锁定的聊天”选项不适用于临时聊天、已归档聊天、群聊、通过共享链接创建的聊天、带有计划任务的聊天，以及带有会议录音的聊天。
Additionally, the Locked Chats option isn’t available for temporary chats, archived chats, group chats, chats created from a shared link, chats with scheduled tasks, and chats with meeting recordings.
锁定聊天功能将面向 ChatGPT Free、Go、Plus、Pro、Business、Enterprise 和 Edu 计划的用户提供。公司指出，该功能在 ChatGPT for Healthcare 上不可用。该功能将于周二开始推出，因此可能尚未对所有用户生效。
Locked Chats will be available to users on ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. The company notes that the feature is not available on ChatGPT for Healthcare. The feature is starting to roll out on Tuesday, so it may not be live yet for all users.
