Earlier today, WhatsApp released two-step verification option which enables users to add an extra layer of security check for their phone numbers to get registered on WhatsApp.
When enabled, two-step authentication requires a user to add a passcode in addition to OTP to register a phone number while setting up WhatsApp on a device. This is great for securing your WhatsApp number and the data associated with it.
However, if in case you forget your WhatsApp two step verification passcode. You can reset / disable it if you provided your email address to WhatsApp while setting up two-step verification. Check out the instructions below for that.
How to Reset / Disable WhatsApp Two Verification Passcode
- When asked for Two-step Verification passcode while setting up WhatsApp. If you don’t know the passcode, select Forgot passcode? link.
- You’ll get a pop-up to send email with information on resetting passcode for your WhatsApp two-step verification. Select SEND EMAIL.
- Check your Email inbox for a mail with WhatsApp Two-Step Verification Reset as a subject.
- Inside the mail, you’ll get a link to disable/remove two-step verification from your WhatsApp number. Open it in your browser.
- A confirmation screen to turn off two-step verification for your WhatsApp account will appear. Click on the CONFIRM button.
- Two-step verification should be disabled now. Open WhatsApp app, your number should already be verified.
Happy Androiding!

Any help over there? Somebody swapped my WhatsApp account at the end and used my mobile number to register WhatsApp using his/her device. Now I’ve no access to my account. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the application but when I write my mobile number to get six digits for verification, it gives me the message: somebody else has already registered the number using his/her device. Any one can help to solve the problem?
