Security Credentials

Security credentials are pieces of information that verify a person's identity or access rights in a digital or physical environment. They can include passwords, PINs, digital certificates, or biometric data like fingerprints. These credentials ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information or systems. Just as you need a key to enter a locked room, security credentials serve as keys in the digital world, helping to protect personal, financial, or organizational data from unauthorized access or fraud. Proper management and protection of these credentials are crucial for maintaining security and privacy.
