📱Hacking someone's WhatsApp account used to be worryingly easy… but fear not, that’s no longer the case!🔒 Passkeys are a more secure (and easier!) way to log into your account using Face ID/Touch ID/device passcode and they are finally available on iOS. (They’ve been on Android for a few months). #Passkeys let you bypass the traditional login method that includes passwords and two-factor authentication via SMS on your registered phone number. So being #WorldPasswordDay why not ditch the password and set up your passkey now!👇 (Only on iOS 17 or later) Settings > Account > Passkeys NB the Passkeys update roll-out is being conducted in phases and will gradually extend to all global regions and phones.
I was a bit sceptical about passkeys, Jake - probably just a lack of awareness about what they were TBH. So, thanks for the tip and info. I'll embrace change and get on it.
Very insightful, thanks Jake Moore!
Good idea Jake Moore - thanks for post.

2moBut if someone could face clone you, could they then use facial recognition verification to get in? Are fingerprints going to be the only thing that's safe anymore? 😂
