Whatsapp security code changes, How to Create / Change Password on Whatsapp - It is different from BBM where we can sign in using a BBID account in the form of an email or mobile number and password that has been set when we first create the BBM account. Well, on WhatsApp we don't need a WhatsApp email or password so we can enter or log into our WA account on our new mobile, because all we need is a verification code sent via SMS to our WhatsApp number.

So everyone can easily use, activate and enter a WhatsApp account? Yups, as long as the person has our own number, and can receive a confirmation SMS to enter WA then automatically the WhatsApp account can be activated. Then WhatsApp isn't safe, unlike BBM that has to enter a password? Not really, because on WhatsApp there is now also a two-step verification feature whose function is to prevent other people from using a WhatsApp account without permission from the owner of the number.

How to Make a Password on WhatsApp is the same as activating the two-step verification security feature. With the Two-step verification feature, each time you activate WhatsApp on a new mobile phone, you will be asked to enter the passcode that we have previously created. If the passcode entered is incorrect, then the WhatsApp account cannot automatically be activated or used, it means that the security of our WA account is better maintained from the unauthorized hand.

Making a WhatsApp password or activating the two-step verification security feature is very easy, first enter the Settings menu on WhatsApp then tap the account, here you can immediately activate Two-Step Verification. 

Select Activate, then enter the security PIN you want. Make sure the PIN is easy to remember but difficult for others to guess, avoid using birth dates as a PIN because later it can be easily guessed. Remember the PIN carefully because its function is almost the same as the WhatsApp password.

Next enter your email address. If you forget the WhatsApp password or don't remember the active PIN on the WhatsApp account, you can easily reset the PIN via the registered email. How to change your PIN or WhatsApp password can be done via the e-mail, so make sure you enter the correct e-mail address that is often used.

Now, your WA account will be safer because it is protected with a two-step verification security feature from WhatsApp, where a security PIN will always be asked if you enter or move a WhatsApp account from one cellphone to another.
