How to Enable Two-Step Verification On WhatsApp

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is the latest in the list of services to add support for two-step verification. The new two-step verification is optional but your WhatsApp account is probably the one you want to secure first. The company assures that once two-step verification enabled, any attempt to verify phone number on WhatsApp will require the six-digit passcode that is created by the user.

To set up two-step verification for WhatsApp, you need to take the following steps:

  • Open WhatsApp

  • Go to Settings

  • Go to Account

  • Look for Two-step verification

  • Tap on Enable

  • On the next screen, enter six-digit passcode.

  • Next, re-enter six-digit passcode.

  • Optionally, add your email address on the next screen.








In the last step – optional, as mentioned – WhatsApp asks for an email address to link with your account. This email address will let WhatsApp to send a link via email to disable two-step verification in case user forgets the six-digit passcode.

Remember that in case you user forget the six-digit passcode, WhatsApp won’t permit re-verifying the account within seven days of last using WhatsApp.
After these seven days, your number will be permitted to re-verify on WhatsApp without your passcode, but you will lose all pending messages upon re-verifying – they will be deleted. If your number is re-verified on WhatsApp after 30 days of last using WhatsApp, and without your passcode, your account will be deleted and a new one will be created upon successfully re-verifying,” the WhatsApp team explains.

The world’s new largest flash drive is the 2TB Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate GT

​So metimes, you need to be able to carry a preposterously large amount of storage in a more portable form factor. Enter Kingston’s DataTraveler Ultimate GT, the “world's highest capacity USB flash drive.” Available in either a relatively diminutive 1TB size, or a more staggering 2TB behemoth, there is a very good chance that the DataTraveler Ultimate GT offers more storage space in a gum stick-sized form than your laptop does in its entire hard drive. Obviously, the world’s high-capacity flash drive doesn’t come in a simple plastic shell, but rather a zinc-alloy casing for improved durability. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), the DataTraveler Ultimate GT uses a USB 3.1 adapter, not USB-C, so you’ll need to break out a dongle to use it with some newer laptops. The USB 3.0 DataTraveler Ultimate GT will be out in February 2017. Pricing has not yet been announced, but it’s probably safe to assume that the world’s highest-capacity flash drives could also b...

World’s Fastest Camera Takes 5 Trillion Photos Per Second, Can Pause Moving Light

Image
High-speed cameras taking 100,000 pictures in one second are enough to fascinate us. But what about a camera that can film at a rate of 5 trillion images per second. It’s created by the researchers Elias Kristensson and Andreas Ehn at the Lund University in Sweden. The camera can make light slow enough that it could be analyzed by humans. In other words, it can be used to record events happening in the 0.2 trillionths of a second. In 2011, a similar camera device was created by the MIT Media Lab. But it was slower and capable of capturing 1 trillion images per second. The researchers demonstrated the camera by filming photons of light traveling a distance equivalent to the thickness of a paper. The trillion camera works in a different way in comparison to the normal high-speed cameras.
