New WhatsApp authenticator via email

O WhatsApp started implementing login authentication via email in the beta version of the application. This allows users to validate their access without relying on SMS. Now that the functionality is available on WhatsApp beta for Android, the official launch of the tool could be in the next few days or weeks.

The creation of the email authentication feature on WhatsApp was revealed in September. At that time, the vehicle BetaInfo discovered this functionality hidden in the beta version of the application. However, due to its early stage of development, it was not yet available for testing.

Users WhatsApp beta now have the option to activate the authentication via email. It is important to highlight that this authentication is a user choice and the standard login validation method via SMS will still be available.

When a user chooses to activate authentication via email, the WhatsApp will automatically perform authentication if the email is the same one used to backup conversations on the Google Drive. However, when signing in from a different device, you will need to enter the code sent via email, rather than logging in with just the email information.

The user's email address will remain confidential and will not be visible to other contacts on WhatsApp. Additionally, WhatsApp will not allow searching for contacts by email address, which will help protect users' privacy and prevent spammers from accessing your phone number.

This new authentication option offers users greater agility when using their account on different devices, being a useful alternative for situations in which cannot receive the authentication code via SMS. Apparently, now we just have to wait for the release, too, for iPhone users.
