WhatsApp has finally implemented two-factor authentication, which adds extra layer security. The whole point is that the user creates a 6-digit code, without which it will not be possible to log in and use the “WhatsApp” application.
WhatsApp's two-factor authentication is somewhat different from services like Google or Twitter, which send you a code via SMS every time you log into your account for that service. In this case, you need to come up with a code yourself and remember it when setting up the application on a new device. The WhatsApp application will periodically ask you to enter this code so that you do not forget it.
How to activate two-factor authentication
Step 1: Launch the WhatsApp application and go to " Settings".
Step 2: Select the tab " Account” and select the option “ Two-Step Verification». 
Step 3 : Here we select the command " Turn on» .
Step 4
: Enter your six digit code and confirm it in the next step.
Step 5

And that is all. At any time, you can return to the settings and turn off two-step verification, change the code or email address.
Warning
As I said, this feature in this application is different from the two-factor authentication methods of other systems that we are used to. Here are some warnings about the limitations associated with using this feature that you need to be aware of, taken directly from the application developer's Q&A page.
With two-step verification enabled,it is not allowed to reactivate without a codeyour numberphone inwhatsapp» within seven dayssince the last login to the application account.
