Embed GPTs safely
security is not optional

Embedding a GPT is easy. Embedding a GPT safely requires authentication, usage limits, and a way to revoke access. Otherwise, your embed becomes a public doorway.

The biggest embed mistake

The biggest mistake is embedding a GPT without an enforcement layer. If anyone can load the page, anyone can use the embed. That makes usage unpredictable and encourages abuse.

What safe embedding includes

  • Authentication: users must sign in
  • Authorization: plan tiers control features
  • Usage limits: response caps per user
  • Revocation: cut off access instantly
  • Logging: track usage and patterns

A simple rule

If you would not leave your front door unlocked, do not embed a GPT without access control. LockedGPT is a platform designed specifically to secure, control, and monetize access to custom GPTs using real API-based enforcement.
