ChatGPT Work Can Now Log Into Websites and Complete Tasks on Your Behalf

ChatGPT Work Now Logs Into Other Websites, Completes More Tasks Itself

Logging into your personal accounts is a major stumbling block for agentic AI tools: you tell your assistant to complete a task, but they need your credentials to do so. Now, ChatGPT Work is further automating that. A new feature announced on Tuesday allows ChatGPT Work to log in to websites and complete tasks using that information on your behalf. For example, if you tell ChatGPT Work to book an appointment at the DMV on your behalf, it will now use your information to access your personal account and complete the process with little to no input from you. To do so, ChatGPT Work takes your login credentials from a third-party password manager. If you ask it to complete any task that requires a login, a new window will appear asking which password manager to use. It may also need help with other security steps, such as two-factor authentication. OpenAI says it won't ever see or record your username or password, so it won't be used without your permission or for training purposes of its tools. It does warn logged in sessions may continue for future tasks. If you want to stop that for select services, you can head to Settings > Cloud browser > Browser data and find the website you want ChatGPT to forget. The feature is exclusive to those on Plus and Pro ChatGPT plans, with no word yet on whether it will come to free users at a later date. That may happen, given that OpenAI often launches features as exclusive to subscribers but later offers a limited version to free users. Similarly, OpenAI announced that free users will now get access to its task scheduling tools. It lets you set up a prompt for a later date, and OpenAI says you can have three active at a time with a free account. If you do pay for ChatGPT, you now also get access to new scheduling tools that let you trigger a request when something changes in GitHub, Gmail, or Slack. An example from OpenAI shows you can get ChatGPT to summarize emails around select topics as soon as they arrive. Disclosure: Ziff Davis, PCMag's parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in April 2025, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

ChatGPT can now do things on your behalf without seeing your login details

We're really just handing the keys over now, huh... Credit: Thomas Fuller / SOPA Images / LightRocket via Getty Images ChatGPT can now check your insurance, cancel flights, or reschedule deliveries for you, all seemingly without seeing your login details. Announced by OpenAI on X, the AI assistant will be able to complete tasks for users that they'd usually have to open a new browser and log in with a username and password to do. (And please don't tell us you've been dropping your login details into AI chatbot conversations. Stop that now.) Available on mobile and web for Plus, Pro, and Business users, the update functions within the GPT‑5.6-powered ChatGPT Work, a task management agent within the chatbot that pulls workflows into one spot. However, the tool is focused beyond boardrooms. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Work can now do things like set up utilities for your home, book a passport or medical appointment, buy or cancel plane tickets, or rearrange a package's arrival, all without viewing your login details. This moves the chatbot beyond its current in-chat booking abilities into deeper, more serious purchasing waters. But how is ChatGPT actually blocked from seeing your username and password? On OpenAI's help page, updated with the announcement, the company says ChatGPT Work functions through a cloud browser that can "read web pages, click buttons, enter information into forms, and carry out steps on supported public and signed-in websites." This means you're not putting your details directly into the Large Language Model (LLM) powering the chatbot, and again, it's unwise to drop these into your chats. You'll need to start a task within ChatGPT, write your request as a prompt, and the chatbot will pause the conversation to generate a "secure form" for logging into a website through a remote browser. You might need to approve the website to ChatGPT and complete any two-factor authentication. According to OpenAI, "the username and password entered [in the secure form] are not visible to the model, and ChatGPT does not store those sign-in credentials." The company adds that all sign-in requests are reviewed by an additional model for "signs of phishing or deception." You can also control which websites ChatGPT has access to in Settings > Cloud browser, where you can select options to "Always ask," "Auto approve," or "Always allow." And some websites might restrict access from AI agents, so you might run into some that won't work with this automation. Once you've done all the approvals and you're logged in, ChatGPT will unpause the conversation and move to complete requests. Notably, ChatGPT will ask you for confirmation in the chat "before actions that could be hard to reverse or create a financial, legal, account, or other real-world commitment, such as confirming a booking or making a payment." So, if you're about to drop cash on a flight, you'll have to give it the green light. ChatGPT users can already connect their bank accounts and medical records to the platform, so this feels like just another step of handing the keys over to AI.
