How to manage two-step verification settings on WhatsApp

Published

 In order to further help you secure your account, WhatsApp has introduced a Two-step verification method.

This is an optional feature that helps keep your account safe from hackers as it prompts you, from time to time, to input your PIN, in a bit to ensure you are still in full control of your account.

  When enabling this feature, you have to create and confirm a unique PIN that’s required to access your account.

How to enable two-step verification

  • Open WhatsApp 
  • Click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of your screen

3 dots


  • Go to Settings.

Settings


  • Click on Account 
  • Click on Two-step verification 
  • Click on Enable.

At this point, you'd be prompted to enter a six-digit PIN of your choice and confirm it.

  • Provide an email address you can access or tap Skip if you don’t want to add an email address. 
It is recommended you add an email address because this allows you to reset two-step verification whenever there's a need for that, and also helps safeguard your account.
If you don’t add an email address and you forget your PIN, it is required that you wait 7 days before you can reset your PIN. Ensure you provide an accurate email address that is accessible by you.

  • Click on Next.
  • Confirm the email address  you provided
  • Tap Save or Done.

If you forgot your PIN and you've successfully registered your phone number on WhatsApp, tap Forgot PIN? to access your account.

How to Disable two-step verification:

  • Go to WhatsApp Settings as described above
  • Go to Account
  • Click on Two-step verification 
  • Tap Disable 
  • click on Disable.

How to Change your two-step verification PIN or your Email address
