What's a verification code, and why are they so important? Six-digit verification codes are a form of two-factor authentication, a process that helps keep your important online accounts secure.

WhatsApp is launching a new beta version for Android users to use the new security feature; a 6-digit code to log into WhatsApp on different devices.

The 6-digit code is a verification code from WhatsApp that you end up sharing. Additionally, the person messaging you is not your known but rather the hacker who has hacked that account as well.
