What should I do if I think my password was stolen?
Use the real service to take back your account and check who still has access.
Act through the app or site you already use. Do not use a link from the message that warned you.
If you can sign in, change the password there. If you are locked out, use the service's own recovery steps.
A new password is a start. Someone may still be signed in or may have changed your settings.
- If someone had remote access, or you suspect harmful software, use another trusted device.
- Set a new password that you use nowhere else. A password manager can help. Keep passwords and reset codes out of ChatGPT.
- Sign out other devices. If recovery details changed, put your own phone and email back in the account settings.
- Remove app access you did not approve. For email, remove forwarding rules you did not set. Check sent mail for misuse.
- Turn on two-step sign-in. Change the password on each other account that used the old one.
- If bank details or payments were affected, contact the bank through its known app or number now.
Make a blank checklist to take back an account. Include the real service's help, a new private password, other signed-in devices and two-step sign-in. Do not ask for passwords, codes or account details.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
If you are locked out, follow the service's recovery steps. ChatGPT cannot restore access for you.
