Using WhatsApp Authentication

Two Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication is an important method of adding an extra layer of protection to your online accounts. 
In the case of WhatsApp, it means that any attempt to verify your phone number also requires you to enter a 6 digit PIN you've set up on the account. If you (or the person trying to access your account) doesn't know the PIN, they don't get to reverify the account and thereby use it. It's very secure and safe. 
It's the best way of making sure that only you get to use your WhatsApp account, no matter what. It's simple to set up too, and the app only occasionally asks you to confirm your PIN.

Please Follow the steps to set it now.
