Does this apply to anyone who verified their ID to get access to the slightly less restricted Codex versions, or only to security professionals who have the almost-entirely unrestricted version?

I hope that at some point this is not developing to remote attestation when only "permitted" devices can use the models.

It’s an advertisement by Yubikey - the hardware key manufacturer

Cobranded YubiKeys? Weird flex but ok. Seriously though if you are letting agents do whatever they want without a PR process that requires hardware authentication or proof of presence, you are putting your code and your org at high risk.

I was actually thinking they would have to do this. Having to mail a physical token to a valid address is a extremely powerful access control method.

Dumb question: is using the built in passkey support on my iPhone not considered “hardware-backed”, even though iPhone is using device biometrics?

It's a great deal — about 50% off — for those who already wanted a Yubikey. https://www.yubico.com/store/partner/openai/ Interestingly, I had to switch to my unpaid OpenAI account to access it. I suspect this is because my paid account is registered to a custom.com email address.
