WhatsApp will be safer: it will make it more difficult for your account to be stolen

Some users have had the unpleasant experience of losing their WhatsApp account by not being careful and sharing the verification code that is sent when installing the app on a new terminal. And, the problem with this is that there is no going back. Well, it seems that the company wants to radically end this problem… and that’s excellent news. It is true that if you have activated the verification in two steps, this problem does not affect you, but there are not exactly the majority of those who have this tool activated in their terminal. Therefore, it is logical that WhatsApp itself is working on improving its protection system when the application is installed on a new terminal and a safe migration is desired. And, by the looks of it, he has found it and with success, everything must be said. What is WhatsApp preparing? What has begun to be tested is the sending of a second verification message that contains a code that will be mandatory to enter so that the change of active terminal with a messaging application account changes. In this way, more than one third-party request for information will not take the step and, even if the company decides to include a warning message, things will improve in terms of security. The shipment will be made by SMS as is currently the case, so whoever has the terminal with WhatsApp fully working will be the one who knows the data, and everything indicates that in order to enter the information it will be necessary to wait for a countdown so that the system offers the maximum guarantee. The truth is that it is an excellent idea and that it can help many to avoid having a major problem due to not being careful enough. It is already known: a failure is an oversight, two… An advance that is important and necessary Because in WhatsApp, contrary to what happens in other applications, an additional warning is not generated in which the user is informed that a new device is trying to access the account (something that has freed more than one from losing their account), it is not a bad idea to enter this second step with a verification code so that the most clueless are completely safe. At the moment this novelty is being tested internally, but it is certain that real tests will begin shortly and due to how crucial it is, it will not take long to offer this possibility to all users. In addition, it will be a tool activated by default, so it will not be the user who decides if it is used or not. Everything looks great, really. >
