WhatsApp Introduces New ‘Passkeys’ Feature for iOS Devices, Enhancing Security and Convenience

WhatsApp has recently launched a new feature that lets users log in with ‘passkeys’ on iOS devices, enhancing security and convenience. This feature allows users to access their accounts using facial recognition, Touch ID, or a PIN. Previously available for Android devices, this login method is now accessible for iOS users as well and can be activated in the account settings under the Passwords section.

With ‘passkeys’, users can choose to log in using FaceID, Touch ID, or their password without needing a one-time password via SMS. This added layer of security helps prevent unauthorized access to user accounts and protects them from potential attacks by malicious actors seeking to obtain SMS passwords. By enabling this feature, iOS users can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their accounts are secure with multiple authentication methods at their disposal.

Overall, the introduction of ‘passkeys’ for iOS devices reinforces WhatsApp’s commitment to enhancing user security and providing a more seamless login experience. Users can now choose from a variety of authentication methods to access their accounts with ease and peace of mind.
