A six-digit PIN that protects a WhatsApp Business number from unauthorized re-registration.
The two-step verification PIN is a six-digit code that a business sets on its WhatsApp Business API phone number to prevent anyone from re-registering that number without permission. Whenever the number is registered on the platform, this PIN may be required.
It is a security safeguard for the number itself, distinct from customer-facing OTPs. Losing or forgetting the PIN can complicate number management, so it should be stored securely and shared only with trusted administrators or your provider.
Setting this PIN is a standard step in number onboarding and an important protection against account hijacking.
The verification PIN stops bad actors from hijacking your business number, protecting your most important messaging asset.
