User Authentication: User Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user who is attempting to access a system, network, or application. This verification is typically accomplished by requiring the user to provide a set of credentials, such as a username and password, that are compared against a database of authorized users. If the credentials match, the user is granted access. User authentication is an important security measure designed to protect sensitive information and systems from unauthorized access. It helps to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data and systems, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches, theft, and other security incidents.
