password authentication

Password authentication is a security process that verifies your identity when accessing a system or account. When you enter your password, the system compares it to the one it has on record for your username. If they match, you're granted access; if not, access is denied. This method ensures that only authorized individuals can enter, relying on the secrecy of your password. Strong, unique passwords help protect your accounts from unauthorized use by making it difficult for others to guess or crack your credentials.
