WhatsApp Adds Multiple Passkeys for Phishing-Resistant Sign-Ins Across iOS and Android
Meta announced that WhatsApp now supports multiple passkeys per account on both iOS and Android, enabling users with multiple devices to sign in using the phishing-resistant authentication method. The company reports more than 1 billion users already employ passkeys for WhatsApp login, following the feature's initial Android rollout in October 2023.
Why it matters: Security teams managing user access should understand that phishing-resistant passkey support across iOS and Android reduces credential theft risk for WhatsApp users, though adoption rate among specific user bases remains an implementation consideration.
