WhatsApp could be working on fingerprint security for WhatsApp Web sessions.This could make for a more secure experience compared to the current way of doing things. WhatsApp has offered WhatsApp Web functionality for a while now, letting you use WhatsApp via your desktop browser. WABetaInfo reports that the Facebook-owned messaging service is working on fingerprint authentication for WhatsApp Web. More specifically, it looks like you’ll need to open WhatsApp on your phone and scan your fingerprint to initiate a web session on your PC. Right now, WhatsApp Web simply requires you to scan a QR code in your browser to initiate a new session.
