How to Enable and Disable Two-Step Verification on WhatsApp: A Step-by-Step Guide
WhatsApp’s two-step verification is an additional security feature that helps protect your account from unauthorized access. Two-step verification requires you to enter a six-digit PIN when you register your phone number on WhatsApp.
This code is required every time you try to verify your phone number on WhatsApp. When you enable two-step verification, you can enter your email address.
This allows WhatsApp to email you a recovery link in case you forget your PIN, and also helps protect your account. The PIN code for two-step verification is different from the 6-digit registration code you receive via text message or phone call.
You can manage the two-step verification settings in your WhatsApp account. Users can enable or disable this feature, change the PIN code, or update the email address associated with two-step verification.
How to activate two-step verification on WhatsApp
– Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to “Settings”.
– Tap on “Account”.
– Tap on “Two-Step Verification”.
– Tap “Enable”.
– Enter the 6-digit PIN that you use to verify your identity when you sign in to WhatsApp on a new device.
– Confirm the PIN code by entering it again.
– If you want, you can add an email address that you can use to reset your PIN if you forget it. This is not mandatory, but it can be useful if you lose access to your phone number.
Two-step verification is now activated on your WhatsApp account. From now on, every time you sign in to WhatsApp on a new device, you’ll be asked to enter the PIN you created.
How to disable two-step verification on WhatsApp
– Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to “Settings”.

It is important to note that if you forget your PIN and did not add an email address when you activated two-step verification, you will no longer be able to access your WhatsApp account. Remember to remember your PIN code or add your email address as a backup.
