WhatsApp rolls out passkey support on Android for secure logins without OTPs
-
WhatsApp launched passkey support for Android, enabling users to log in without OTPs.
-
Passkeys use cryptographic key pairs stored on the user's device for secure logins.
-
Services don't have access to the private key, preventing unauthorized logins.
-
Users can now log into WhatsApp on Android by authenticating with face, fingerprint or PIN.
-
Other apps like PayPal, TikTok and 1Password have also introduced passkey support recently.
