Enable Two-Step Verification on WhatsApp
Cybersecurity is crucial in protecting sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of digital systems. Two-step verification protects your account by requiring a code if there is a login attempt from a device we do not recognize. Let’s learn how to activate an additional layer of protection for WhatsApp accounts.
1. Open WhatsApp Settings.
2. Tap Account > Two-step verification > Enable.
3. Enter a six-digit PIN (Personal Identification Numbers) of your choice and confirm it.
4. Provide an email address you can access or tap Skip if you don’t want to add an email address. We recommend adding an email address as this allows you to reset two-step verification, and helps safeguard your account.
5. Tap Next.
6. Confirm the email address and tap Save or Done.
If you forgot your PIN, you will need to wait 7 days before you can reset it. Alternatively, if you have previously added your email address, we will send reset instructions to your email. We don’t verify this email address, so make sure it is accurate and accessible to you.
