Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A password authenticates a user by confirming their identity. Identification refers to the username or email address used to log in, whereas authentication requires a password to verify that the user is authorized to access the system. The other options are not accurate because passwords do not identify or conceal the user, nor do they encrypt data (although encrypted passwords are more secure).
