User Credentials

User credentials are the information you use to verify your identity when accessing digital accounts or systems. Typically, they include a username (your unique identifier) and a password (a secret code). Think of credentials as your digital key that grants you access while keeping others out. Proper management and security of credentials are essential to protect personal data and prevent unauthorized access. In some cases, additional factors like a fingerprint or a one-time code may be used for enhanced security, a process known as multi-factor authentication.
