Authentication is the process of verifying that a user, device, or system is who or what it claims to be, typically through credentials such as passwords, biometrics, security tokens, or multi-factor methods. It is a foundational skill in IT, cybersecurity, and software development, underpinning secure access to systems, applications, and data.
