unauthenticated

Lacking proper verification

Unauthenticated means not verified or confirmed as genuine.

In computing and security contexts, an unauthenticated user hasn't proven their identity through login credentials: The vulnerability allowed unauthenticated access to the database.

More broadly, unauthenticated documents or claims lack proof of their origin or accuracy: The museum received an unauthenticated Picasso.
