WhatsApp finally allows you to secure your account with this very popular method
There are features that are so obvious that sometimes we forget that some services don’t have them. WhatsApp messaging, for example, although the most used in the world, waited until November 2023 to deploy the association of its account with an email address. You can now receive an email to confirm that it is you who is trying to log in to WhatsApp. SMS verification is still possible if you prefer.
