Whatsapp Gaves New Passkey Feature to the Users Details Here

Popular messaging app WhatsApp is all set to provide a simple & secure login process to Android users. To that extent, it is launching a new feature called Passkeys. With this new login method, there is no need to enter passwords or OTP codes sent by the company through SMS. Instead, users can log in to their WhatsApp account with Face ID, fingerprint,, or PIN. While re-installing or switching to a new phone requires re-login to the WhatsApp account. In such cases the new method is very useful.

When in remote areas with poor signal, the OTP from WhatsApp will be very late. Sometimes the OTP may not arrive. Due to this, users are not able to log in. New passkeys solve that problem too. Passkeys is a passwordless authentication method. Enabled users can log in via biometric or device-based methods available on the phone.

No need to worry about hackers

Passkeys keep hackers in check. Because in order to hack, hackers need to physically take the user's device. It is impossible so users can stay safe from cyber attacks.

Tech giants on the trail of Paskeys

WhatsApp isn't the first company to make passkeys available to the public. Apple and Google already offer passkey support for their own platforms. Users are encouraged to switch from passwords to passkeys. According to WhatsApp, passkeys provide users with extra security, simplifying the login process.

Meta announced the feature on Company X (formerly Twitter). “Android users can easily and securely log back in with passkeys. Only face, fingerprint or PIN will unlock your WhatsApp account.” revealed that. It also shared a video of the feature in action.
