How Does The Whatsapp Two Step Verification Work? by LilMissFavvy(f): 8:07pm On Dec 01, 2019
I activated the WhatsApp 2-step verification sometime ago since I do hear people complain that their WhatsApp got hacked. After that I observed that each time I opened my WhatsApp, a box appeared requesting that I input my 2-step verification code.

Currently, I open my WhatsApp without seeing any requests to input that code, what's wrong? Has someone tempered with it? Is someone monitoring my messages? I would appreciate your inputs.

it is a pin used when you want to register your phone number on WhatsApp e.g on another device or even the same device again, maybe it was a bug when it required it every time or replaced it with the fingerprint and now works only for the main purpose.

Its like you are trying to say the verification is working the way it should? I didn't replace it with a finger print, or are you saying I should replace it with a finger print? Thanks.

It's not a bug and your 2 step verification works just fine, it only requests the pin at intervals just so you get used to the password and not forget it. Your WhatsApp is perfectly fine
