reauthenticates
Proves credentials once more
Reauthenticates means to authenticate again—to verify identity or credentials a second time.
Software systems reauthenticate users after sessions expire or when accessing sensitive features: The app reauthenticates you every time you open the banking tab.
The process confirms that the current user is still the authorized one.
