WhatsApp to start password reminder prompts on messenger app

It’s been close to two years since WhatsApp launched an end-to-end encryption option for backup data. It offered users two lock options- one personal password and a 64-digit encryption key (via hardware). The user had the option to select any one of the modes for securing their personal data, but there was one caveat- he/she has to remember the passcode or don’t lose the encryption key. Or else, lose access to the old chat history when moving to a new phone or when re-installing WhatsApp again on the same phone.

So, to ensure people never forget their password, WhatsApp will start popping password reminders on the screen and ensure, he/she will always be able to recall the code.
