Wish I knew what they were talking about. I've never had to login into Whatsapp, it was always done by confirming my phone number.
Now I have to login? What's my username? What happens if I lose my phone and the passkey was set up with a fingerprint or face recognition on the old one? Do I have to login into Google instead? But why login into Google to be able to login into Whatsapp?

Set it up? Could you also give some clue how to turn it off?
