There are security issues with both of these methods. Passwords can be secure, but let's be real, many of us use very simple passwords that are easy to remember, and, in some cases, we even repeat passwords from account to account to make things easier on our brains. If your password for WhatsApp backups is the same password you use for your email, and the latter gets leaked, hackers can easily break into your WhatsApp backups. Not good. (Side note: Please use a strong and unique password for all of your accounts.)
On Thursday, however, WhatsApp announced it is adding a new authentication method to protect your encrypted backups, and a big improvement over the existing two options: passkeys. If you choose to encrypt your chat backups with a passkey, you'll be able to decrypt them the same way you unlock your device, such as with your fingerprint, face scan, or device passcode.
How to check if you have passkey support
WhatsApp says it is gradually rolling out this passkey support "over the coming weeks and months." To check if your account supports it, head to Settings > Chats > Chat backup > End-to-end encrypted backup.
