How to set up two-factor authentication on WhatApp to be more secure

It is very important to set up two-factor authentication on WhatsApp to be able to use the most secure application possible. WhatsApp is an exceptional and revolutionary messaging app used by millions of people around the world. Simple to use, free, and with no advertising (so far), it comes as no surprised that its the most used mobile messaging app around the world. With its written and voice messaging system, the ability to make voice and video calls, it offers a service comparable to that of a telephone.

Many people use it on a daily basis and share a lot of personal data, which is why it is important to keep it secure. We, therefore, recommend that you set up two-factor authentication on your account. This feature will be especially useful when you log into WhatsApp on another device to add additional security to your profile.

Enabling two-factor authentication

There is only one method for two-factor authentication on WhatsApp, and it is fast and very simple. Once logged in, the application prompts you to create a custom PIN code. Here are the steps to follow:

6. Press Activate.
7. Enter your personalized PIN code before clicking on next.
8. Re-enter your personalized PIN code.
9. Press Confirm.
10. Enter your email address before clicking on next.
11. Re-enter your email address.
12. Press Save.
13. Press Done.

It no doubt that the two-factor authentication imagined by WhatsApp has a rather unusual configuration but well, we do with what we have, as they say. Most important: more security for your data.

The only small tricky bit of this feature is to remember this special WhatsApp PIN code that will be used very rarely. Before creating it, I invite you to choose a password that is easy for you to remember, but only for you. It is never often enough that one should always use a too obvious code such as the famous: 123456.
