Although WhatsApp lacks a password for signing in to your account, it does, however, have a two-step verification to keep anyone from gaining access to your account if they steal your SIM card. Here’s how you’re able to reset that 6-digit PIN if you’ve forgotten it.
尽管WhatsApp缺少用于登录您的帐户的密码,但是它具有两步验证,可以防止任何人窃取您的SIM卡而无法访问您的帐户。 如果您忘记了该密码,可以通过以下方法重置该6位PIN码。
Note: You must first set up the two-step verification from your setting, it isn’t automatically enabled when you initialize your account.
注意 : 您必须首先从设置中设置两步验证 ,初始化帐户后不会自动启用它。
Obviously, you’ll need to recover your PIN if you forget it. But another time you might need to recover your PIN is when you switch phones, since WhatsApp require you to enter your two-step verification PIN on your new device once you download the app. You can’t really recover the same PIN you used, but you can get back into your account by resetting your PIN.
显然,如果您忘记了PIN,就需要找回它。 但是另一次您可能需要在切换电话时恢复PIN码,因为WhatsApp要求您在下载应用程序后在新设备上输入两步验证PIN码。 您无法真正恢复曾经使用过的PIN,但是可以通过重置PIN来重新获得您的帐户。
找回密码 (Recovering Your PIN)
Go ahead and open up WhatsApp and when it asks for your PIN, tap the “Forgot PIN” link.
继续并打开WhatsApp,当它要求输入PIN时,点击“忘记PIN”链接。

In the pop up, tap the “Send Email” option. This sends a message to the email address WhatsApp has on record for you—the same one you used to set up your two-step verification.
在弹出窗口中,点击“发送电子邮件”选项。 这会将一条消息发送到WhatsApp记录在案的电子邮件地址,即您用来设置两步验证的电子邮件地址。

Note: If you chose to not enter an email upon setup, you will have to wait up to 7 days before you can set a new PIN through the application. Any messages you would have received in this time may be lost as messages older than 6-7 days are deleted. For that reason, if you didn’t set up an email for your account, it’s a good idea to do so—especially if you’re setting up two-factor authentication.
注意:如果您选择在设置时不输入电子邮件,则最多需要等待7天,然后才能通过该应用程序设置新的PIN码。 由于删除了6-7天以上的邮件,因此您本次收到的所有邮件可能会丢失。 因此,如果您没有为帐户设置电子邮件,这是一个好主意,尤其是在设置两因素身份验证的情况下。
Next, tap the “OK” button.
接下来,点击“确定”按钮。

You should receive an email shortly with a link to turn off your two-step verification. Tap the link and you’ll be redirected to your WhatsApp account in your browser.
您应该很快会收到一封包含链接的电子邮件,以关闭两步验证。 点击链接,您将在浏览器中重定向到您的WhatsApp帐户。

Next, you’ll have to confirm that you really want to turn off two-step verification.
接下来,您必须确认您确实要关闭两步验证。

That’s all there is to it. From here you’ll be able to log back into your app and start sending and receiving messages again.
这里的所有都是它的。 从这里您将能够重新登录到您的应用程序,并再次开始发送和接收消息。

Finally, because you turned off the extra security, don’t forget to set up two-step verification again, since your account isn’t fully secure until that’s re-enabled.
最后,由于您关闭了额外的安全性,因此请不要忘记再次设置两步验证 ,因为在重新启用帐户之前,您的帐户并不完全安全。
