Welcome to our tutorial on authentication! This guide will help you understand the basics of authentication and how it works on our platform.

What is Authentication?

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user. It ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive information or perform certain actions on a website or application.

Types of Authentication

There are several types of authentication methods, including:

  • Username and Password: The most common form of authentication, where users enter a username and password to access their accounts.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification, such as a password and a unique code sent to their phone.
  • Biometric Authentication: Uses biological characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to verify a user's identity.
