How to Enable or Disable Two-Step Verification on WhatsApp

HIGHLIGHT

• Two Step authentication protects your WhatsApp in case of phone theft.

Consider this scenario - somebody steals your phone, removes the SIM card and puts it in another phone, they can potentially impersonate you on WhatsApp, as all they need to do is re-verify using the OTP SMS. To prevent such fraudulent activity, WhatsApp has introduced two-step verification for its popular chat app. If enabled, you can set a six digit code which will be required every time during re-verification of your WhatsApp account. If you’re worried about the above happening to you, we recommend that you turn two-step verification on.
