I saw that WhatsApp now allows users to protect their chat backups with passkeys. Has anyone set this up yet? I’m curious how it works and whether it’s more secure than the previous backup options.
WhatsApp now lets you secure chat backups with passkeys, using your fingerprint, Face ID, or screen lock instead of a password. This makes backup access easier and more secure on both Android and iOS.
Yeah, WhatsApp’s new passkey feature lets you secure chat backups with your device’s biometrics or PIN instead of just passwords. It’s definitely a safer and easier option.
WhatsApp now allows users to secure their chat backups using passkeys, adding an extra layer of protection. This feature enhances privacy by replacing traditional passwords with encrypted passkey authentication, ensuring only authorized users can access and restore backup data safely.
