TechPulse take: This rollout represents a significant shift in consumer authentication standards, moving billions of users from legacy PINs to cryptographic passkeys that are inherently resistant to phishing and SIM-swap attacks. The simultaneous strengthening of two-step verification with alphanumeric passwords further hardens the ecosystem against brute-force credential guessing. While the implementation is consumer-facing, the underlying adoption of public-key cryptography at this scale offers critical data points for evaluating real-world passwordless security efficacy.
WhatsApp Passkeys Reach 1 Billion Users as Two-Step Verification Gets Stronger Passwords
WhatsApp has confirmed that more than 1 billion people now use passkeys to log into the messaging app, marking one of the largest passwordless authentication rollouts in consumer tech history. Alongside this milestone, Meta’s flagship messaging platform is rolling out a major upgrade to two-step verification, replacing the long-standing six-digit PIN with a full alphanumeric […] The post WhatsApp Passkeys Reach 1 Billion Users as Two-Step Verification Gets Stronger Passwords appeared first on Cyber Security News.
WhatsApp has confirmed that more than 1 billion people now use passkeys to log into the messaging app, marking one of the largest passwordless authentication rollouts in consumer tech history. Alongside this milestone, Meta’s flagship messaging platform is rolling out a major upgrade to two-step verification, replacing the long-standing six-digit PIN with a full alphanumeric password, and adding new caller-context features designed to help users spot…
