ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Conditional security

Okay kiddo, let me explain conditional security to you in a way you can understand.

Conditional security is like a lock on your toy box. You want to keep your toys safe, so you put a lock on the box. But you don't want to have to unlock and lock the box every time you want to play with a toy, that would be annoying!

So, you make a rule - only certain people are allowed to play with your toys without unlocking the box. Maybe it's just you and your best friend. That way, when you want to play, you don't have to worry about someone else taking your toys.

That's what conditional security is - it's making rules about who can access something without needing a password or key. It's like putting a lock on a door, but then only allowing certain people to enter without unlocking it.

Make sense, kiddo?
