To set up two-step verification (also known as two-factor authentication) on WhatsApp, follow these steps:
1. Open WhatsApp on your phone.
2. For Android:
– Tap the three dots in the top-right corner to access the menu.
– Select “Settings” from the menu.
– Tap “Account.”
– Tap “Two-step verification.”
For iPhone:
– Tap “Settings” at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
– Select “Account.”
– Tap “Two-Step Verification.”
3. Tap “Enable” to start the setup process.
4. You will be asked to enter a six-digit PIN that you’ll use to verify your identity. Make sure it’s something you can remember but not too easily guessable.
5. Re-enter the PIN to confirm it.
6. Optionally, you can add your email address. This email will be used to reset your PIN if you forget it. It adds an extra layer of security, so it’s recommended to provide a valid email address.
7. Tap “Next” or “Done” to complete the setup.
8. WhatsApp will ask you to confirm your PIN periodically to ensure you remember it. You can also set the frequency of PIN prompts.
Now, your WhatsApp account is protected with two-step verification. Whenever you log in to WhatsApp on a new device, you’ll be required to enter the six-digit PIN you set up during this process, along with your phone number. This added layer of security helps protect your account from unauthorized access. Make sure to keep your PIN secure and do not share it with anyone.
