Now forget about typing the password! Know what is the passkey feature which will make login easy in just one click.

WhatsApp has gradually started rolling out this passkey based encryption feature for all users. Earlier, to secure chat backup, users needed a 64-digit long password, which was no less than a challenge to remember. But now the passkey system is going to get rid of this problem.

Now whenever you save your chat backup in Google Drive or iCloud, there will be no need to create a separate password. The Passkey feature will be directly linked to your device and will verify your identity through fingerprint, Face ID or screen lock. In this way, neither will you have to remember the password nor will there be any fear of losing the backup if you forget it.

This new feature of WhatsApp is making its existing end-to-end encryption system even stronger. The biggest advantage of this system is that only you and the other person can read or listen to your messages and calls, not even WhatsApp itself. Now the passkey feature extends this security to backup so that even if the phone is lost or you get a new device, your chats remain completely safe.

The method of activating this feature is also very easy. You just have to go to WhatsApp settings and turn on Chats → Chat Backup → End-to-End Encrypted Backup option. After this the system will automatically activate.

WhatsApp has said that this new feature will give users an experience in which both security and convenience will be combined. Now neither the tension of remembering the password nor the fear of data theft, you will get backup and complete security guarantee in just one tap.

The passkey feature can prove to be a big change for WhatsApp users. This will not only keep their chats secure but will also give them more confidence in the new era of digital security.
