WhatsApp rolls out passwordless logins with passkeys

New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced to roll out support for a password-less passkey feature to all Android users. The move will help WhatsApp users on Android bid goodbye to insecure and even annoying two-factor SMS authentication. "Android users can easily and securely log back in with passkeys. Only your face, finger print, or pin unlocks your WhatsApp account," the company posted on X (formerly Twitter) late on Monday. Passkeys were previously being tested by WhatsApp in its beta channel, but it’s now coming to regular users. There is still no information on support for WhatsApp passkeys on iPhones.
