WhatsApp Messenger will benefit from an additional security system for user accounts, so the application will allow us to activate a 2-step authentication system which will make it extremely difficult to access the information from the accounts without our access, the procedure being possible at the moment.
I told you a few weeks ago that a simple clone of a card allows a hacker to access all our conversations from WhatsApp Messenger and take over our identity in conversations with various people, and this 2-step authentication system solves the problem for users all over the world.
In the images below you can see how this 2-step authentication system works for WhatsApp Messenger, allowing the setting of a 6-digit code that will have to be entered every time we activate WhatsApp on a new terminal, without this code activation is impossible, including for us, the recovery is done by email.
The security code for the 2-step authentication system of WhatsApp Messenger is currently being tested by the WhatsApp company and is not in any of the beta versions, so it will take some time until it is implemented in the final version of the application, so it will we have to wait until he appears.
A few weeks ago, WhatsApp Messenger activated the encryption of conversations made by users, so the introduction of a 2-step authentication system reinforces the idea that WhatsApp is trying to provide as much security as possible for the users of its services, and this is very gratifying.
Considering that this new feature of the WhatsApp Messenger application is currently under development, no one knows when it will be released for users all over the world, but considering the importance of security systems of this kind, I think not it will take that long until we have it available.
