WHATSAPP

Security in WhatsApp is very important and now any user can use 2-step verification. We tell you how to activate it.



Security in our social accounts is a really delicate issue and the one on mobile devices makes it even easier for someone to access them. But even without our smartphone there are methods that would allow us to take control of application and service profiles.

That's why many companies have already implemented security measures such as two-step verification, a measure that requires access to a specific phone number that we have established.


This option has been in WhatsApp since November 2016 but until now it was only in the beta version of the application. Now it seems that it opens to all its users so that anyone can activate it and increase the security of their profile.

How to turn on 2-step verification in WhatsApp


In the latest version of the application we will have a new field in the account settings in which we can activate it.

                         Settings -> Account -> 2-step verification -> Activate.

When we activate it we will be asked for a six-figure PIN that we will have to use and memorize since we will be asked every time we have to verify our phone number.

In case we forget it we have the option to put our e-mail when activated. So, from an email sent to it by WhatsApp we can deactivate this function. However to avoid forgetting it WhatsApp will ask us from time to time to put the code, simply to help us memorize it.

It is important to bear in mind that we should not click on an email that tells us that we will disable this protection if we have not previously requested it. It seems obvious but many of the hack techniques or SPAM come from similar ideas.

In case we forget the PIN and we do not have access to the mail we must wait 7 days to verify our telephone number and to be able to access the account again. If 30 days pass without access and we do not verify the account this will be deleted, but we can re-create it with our same phone number.

Twitter: change your profile image by default TWITTER, TRENDS, SOCIAL NETWORKS, INTERNET, TECHNOLOGY The image of an egg that was assigned to new comers to the social network became synonymous with accounts created for the purpose of attacking others from anonymity. After having been replaced as the solution to the problem is still far. Since 2010, the default image that appeared in the new profiles of Twitter was a white egg, accompanied by a different background for each account. An entry of the blog you write responsible for the layout of the page, explains how the people who use the network to attack other users motivated change that image and the process that led to the gray silhouette that now replaces it.
