authentications
Proof of legitimacy
Authentications are acts or processes of verifying that something or someone is genuine.
In everyday contexts, this might involve confirming identity through passwords, fingerprints, or official documents.
In computing and security, authentication typically requires proving you are who you claim to be before accessing a system or account.
The app requires two-factor authentication for all logins.
The term also applies to verifying the genuineness of art, antiques, or historical artifacts.
