Continuous authentication

Continuous authentication is a security process that constantly verifies a user's identity while they are using a device or application, rather than just at login. It uses various factors like behavior, activity patterns, and biometrics to ensure the person is still authorized. For example, it might monitor typing patterns or how you hold your phone. If the system detects anomalies, it can prompt for re-authentication or restrict access. This approach enhances security by preventing unauthorized access that might occur after initial login, offering seamless protection without interrupting the user experience.
