TechCrunch Publishes 3-Platform Guide to Spot Hacked AI Accounts

Summary
TechCrunch outlined how users can check for unauthorized access on ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity accounts, focusing on session reviews and forced sign-outs.
ChatGPT and Claude both show active sessions in account settings, letting users remove a single suspicious device or log out everywhere; ChatGPT also lets users reset passwords with a six-digit email code.
Perplexity does not display logged-in devices, so the guide recommends using its “sign out of all sessions” option and then logging back in with an emailed six-digit code.
MFA is available on ChatGPT and Perplexity, while Claude relies on email login links instead of passwords, making email account security a key layer of protection.
