PassportNone

PassportNone is a term used in software security contexts to indicate that no authentication method—such as a password, token, or biometric—is required to access a system or resource. Essentially, it means the system does not enforce user verification, allowing anonymous or open access. While this can facilitate ease of use, it also increases security risks since there's no way to verify user identity. PassportNone might be used in environments where openness or public access is desired, but it is generally not suitable for sensitive or private data without additional safeguards.
