Hello OpenAI Team,

I am having an issue with identity verification (National ID / Passport) for the Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program. The verification keeps failing and looping.

I am a certified Bug Bounty Hunter working with Bug Bounty SA, operating strictly on authorized scopes.

I kindly request the support team to review my support ticket (#12494856) to help resolve this issue.

Thank you,
Yasser Alenezi

TAC has been broken for months. @OpenAI_Support is aware but hasn’t publicly acknowledged it, nor cares. If you need to find security bugs in code or protect your code, such as code written by AI, you’ll need to look elsewhere

Thanks for the response! Do you happen to have any specific alternatives in mind that you’d recommend checking out in the meantime?

I just registered under iOS with no problems. I did have however issues Windows and with Android getting this done.

Could you please provide me with the link that you applied from?

Tried about 10 times with the ID and Passport, Maybe its limited on specific regions

Yes, Saudi Arabia is on the supported list. Have you heard of anyone successfully bypassing this verification loop, or is waiting for support the only option?

That I am not aware of and I also would not encourage it. Bypassing this is a red flag for some. Best you can do is try a different platform like iOS, Android or macOS or contact support directly.

Sorry, I am unable to recommend alternatives as mods told me that mentioning competitors will result in a ban. I do not expect @OpenAI_Support to address this issue at this point, so I defer to the last poster’s response. Maybe OAI will take cyber security seriously someday.

alternates in my previous post meant using iOS, or using Android. Not other services.
