WhatsApp introduces passkeys and tighter login security for users

WHATSAPP has introduced significant security enhancements, including passkey support for over a billion users, improved two-step verification with longer alphanumeric passwords, and caller-context details for unknown numbers. These upgrades aim to enhance account protection and counteract phishing by removing password vulnerabilities. Users are encouraged to set up passkeys, transition to the new two-step verification format, and utilize recovery emails to bolster security. The caller-context feature will automatically provide useful information about incoming calls to aid in recognizing potential scams.
