OpenAI’s Agentic ChatGPT Can Stay Signed In While It Works

OpenAI says its agentic ChatGPT can operate within accounts that a user has already signed into, while the model itself does not see the account password. According to information reported by Decrypt, that authenticated session may remain active across multiple tasks, allowing the system to continue working even when the user steps away. The setup highlights how agentic software can perform actions through existing browser sessions without directly handling login credentials. OpenAI’s explanation focuses on the distinction between password access and a persistent signed-in session. The report is relevant to users assessing how ChatGPT’s agentic features interact with online accounts and ongoing tasks.
