WhatsApp Adds Passkey Protection for Chat Backups
"WhatsApp's giving users another way to lock down their chats, and protect their personal data, with Passkey-encrypted chat backups, which will give you more complex options for data access , as opposed to your regular password protection."
"Passkeys will allow you to use your fingerprint, face, or screen lock code to encrypt your chat backups instead of having to memorize a password or a cumbersome 64-digit encryption key. Now, with just a tap or a glance, the same security that protects your personal chats and calls on WhatsApp is applied to your chat backups so they are always safe, accessible and private."
Passkey-encrypted chat backups enable encryption using fingerprint, face recognition, or device screen lock codes rather than traditional passwords. Passkeys eliminate the need to remember a password or manage a 64-digit encryption key by relying on biometric or device-based authentication. A single tap or glance applies the same protections that secure personal chats and calls to stored backups. Backups become private, accessible, and protected while offering more complex and user-friendly access options compared with standard password-based backup protection.
