The rollout of
two-factor authentication for the popular messaging app, WhatsApp, has
taken some time to arrive, but now it’s finally here.
According to a report
from Android Police, the latest beta versions of WhatsApp (for Android,
and, apparently, even the Windows Phone beta) feature two-factor
authentication for added security. Within the app, users need to head
into Settings, where there is an obvious “Two-step verification” option
right there in the list.
Tapping that will take
the user through the set-up process, which begins with explaining what
two-factor authentication is. The next screen will have the user
inputting a six-digit string of numbers in, confirming them, and then
finishing up the process. Users will need to make sure an email is
available to reset the password, if that is necessary at some point.
With two-step
verification, WhatsApp users will have an extra level of security in
place. It’s used for when a new device is registered with someone’s
phone number for the service. Now, instead of that person, who might not
be the owner of the account, immediately gaining access, they’ll need
to put that six-digit code in. Without it, there won’t be access.
The new feature appears
to be rolling out now, so WhatsApp users should expect to see it soon if
they don’t already have access to it.
