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.
