More About authentication

Long ago, people used keys for doors. Now, we use codes and passwords. This helps keep our things safe. It is like a secret that only you know.

Every day, we use authentication. When you log in to a game or a site, you use it. It helps keep your stuff safe from others.

In the future, we might use more cool ways to log in. Maybe we will use our eyes or our voices. This will make it even safer!
