Plain-English definition
authentication
What it means
Authentication is how your app confirms that people are who they say they are, usually with a username and password or a login link. It's the front door check that keeps out strangers pretending to be someone else.
In plain terms
Like showing your passport at airport check-in to prove you really are the person named on the ticket before anyone lets you through.
