WhatsApp is the latest app to support passkeys, a simple yet more secure way to log in without needing a password. The announcement from the company says this feature is currently available for Android users, but it's unclear when it will arrive on its iOS counterpart. With passkey support, WhatsApp users can log back in using their face, fingerprint, or PIN to unlock their account. To add this new login method, WhatsApp explains that it needs to verify your phone number. https://twitter.
Many other apps and services have also added passkey support, such as 1Password, Nintendo, Amazon, and more. With iOS 17, Apple introduced the feature to make it easier to log into accounts using the device’s built-in authentication, like a fingerprint, Face ID, or a PIN code. WhatsApp clearly wants to join in by moving users away from passwords as much as possible.
