Think someone's using your ChatGPT account? Screenshot first, then log out

A practical checklist for suspected ChatGPT account compromise, stressing order: screenshot Security history and Active sessions before changing anything; know that "log out all" can take 30 minutes; change the password at the identity provider (Google/Microsoft/Apple), not in ChatGPT; save critical chats immediately since deleted chats have no trash and exports take days; then audit what the intruder left behind — custom instructions, saved memories, shared links, and connected apps. Logging out fixes access but doesn't undo their changes.
