WIRE — WhatsApp is reportedly working to make a real push on security with a major upgrade to its two-step verification. Currently, when you register your number on a new device, WhatsApp asks for a 6-digit PIN. It works for safety and security, but honestly, a simple string of numbers can only do so much.

We are talking about the real passwords with both letters and numbers, so it is going to be a lot tougher for anyone to force their way into your account.
