What is Passkeys
Passkey is a feature that allows users to access their accounts without having to enter a 6-digit code each time. It eliminates the need for traditional username and password combinations, including the two-factor authentication method. The feature uses a secure technology that was developed by the FIDO Alliance, in collaboration with Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Passkeys streamline the login process for users and require only their face, fingerprint, or PIN to unlock and gain access to their WhatsApp accounts. This makes the login process more convenient and intuitive, as users no longer need to remember or type passwords.
