Meta is rolling out the passkey feature to WhatsApp users on Android. It allows users to log in with their device’s security, like facial recognition scanning, PIN, or fingerprint, instead of less secure passwords.
WhatsApp users on Android can say goodbye to insecure and annoying SMS two-factor authentication. The Meta-owned company announced on X that it’s rolling out support for a passwordless passkey feature to all Android users. The new security option allows WhatsApp users to use their device’s face, fingerprint, or pin security to unlock and access their accounts — following Google’s lead when it began prompting users last week to create passkeys.
That doesn’t mean WhatsApp’s 2 billion-plus users are completely protected from all digital threats, but it should help make things easier and more secure for both those who already have good password habits and those who still set their passwords to “12345.” --- What are passkeys? Passkeys can replace traditional passwords with your device’s own authentication methods.
