Yesterday, Whatsapp started to roll out its two-step verification process for its over billion users. The Verge said this option allows its users to add an extra layer of security to their accounts.
According to the company, the Two-Step verification process will not be permitted to re-verify on the app within seven days of last use without the passcode. Should you successfully log in with the correct passcode, all pending messages will be deleted. If the verification is done after 30 days of last, Whatsapp will force you to create a new account and will delete the old one.
In order to enable it, users need to update the app to its latest version, and then go to Settings, then Account, then enable the Two-Step verification option. Once it’s enabled, users will have to key in a six-digit passcode every time they register their mobile number with the app.
Daily Mail said the option has been rolled out earlier with a small batch of phones in November last year. This year, the rollout is now available to all iOS, Android, and Windows smartphones.
As for a recovery option, this is an optional feature. Once you provide the email address, Whatsapp will send a link that will allow a user to disable the Two-Step verification process and successfully recover the account back. However, the email address is not verified, so users have to be careful which email address to key in.
“We highly recommend you provide an accurate email address so that you're not locked out of your account if you forget your passcode. If you receive an email to disable two-step verification, but did not request this, do not click on the link. Someone could be attempting to verify your phone number on WhatsApp,” the company said on its FAQ page.
