Your WhatsApp account will be linked to a six-digit number and an email address using this approach. Its activation ensures that no one else can access your WhatsApp; only you will have access, and configuring it is highly advised.
It can also be adjusted through WhatsApp Web and Desktop, according to WABetaInfo, however, this is not yet available to all users. The processes and alternatives are the same; you'll be able to enter a code and an email address, which you'll need to save in a secure location, or just remember if you ever need to recover your account due to the loss of your WhatsApp PIN.
You may modify both the code and the email later, and you can even eliminate two-step verification, but this is not advised. This setting may be located in the settings and accessible via the chat area.

The issue now is when this essential security feature, which is currently existing in the mobile version of WhatsApp, will be available. It will likely appear soon, and if it does, it will be one of the first new features of WhatsApp Web in 2022.
When you've done so, you'll be able to use WhatsApp Web's two-step verification feature.
You won't need to update, but if you use WhatsApp Desktop, you'll need to upgrade to receive the most recent version with this feature.
