Losing your phone and worrying about someone else accessing and misusing your WhatsApp account can be a stressful experience. Fortunately, WhatsApp provides several security measures to protect your account. In this tutorial, we will show you how to recover your WhatsApp account using two-step verification.
First, navigate to your WhatsApp application chat screen and tap on the three dots located in the upper right corner. Then, tap on “Settings” and select “Account.”
Once you’re in the account settings, tap on “Two-step verification” and enable it. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your account, which acts like a password. This way, even if someone gets their hands on your SIM card, your account will remain secure.
After enabling two-step verification, enter a 6-digit PIN code. This PIN will be required when you register your phone number with WhatsApp next time. Confirm your PIN by typing it again and add an email address to your account, which will be used to reset your PIN if you forget it.
You can skip adding an email address, but we recommend you add one to safeguard your account. Once you’ve confirmed your email address, tap on “Done.” Now, if anyone tries to log into your WhatsApp account, they will be asked to enter the two-step verification code. If they don’t have access to your account, they will not know the code, and you will have full control over your account.
By following these steps, you can easily recover your WhatsApp account and protect it from unauthorized access. If you have any questions or feedback, leave a comment below. We hope this guide was helpful to you.
