iOS devices can now use passkeys for WhatsApp login

WhatsApp has introduced a new login feature for iOS devices called ‘passkeys’, which allows users to securely access their accounts using facial recognition, Touch ID, or a PIN. This feature was already available for Android devices, and now iOS users can activate it in their account settings under the Passwords section. Instead of using a password, users can authenticate their login with biometric methods or a smartphone unlock code.

With ‘passkeys’ enabled, iOS users can choose to log in using Face ID, Touch ID, or a password without needing a one-time SMS password. This adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to user accounts and protect against potential attacks from malicious actors trying to steal passwords via SMS.

The addition of this new login method enhances the security of WhatsApp accounts and provides users with an easy and convenient way to access their accounts on iOS devices. By using biometric authentication or a smartphone unlock code, users can ensure that their accounts are protected from unauthorized access.
