Electronic identification

Electronic identification means using technology to prove who you are. Imagine you have a special toy that only you have, and whenever you show it to someone, they know it's you. In the same way, electronic identification uses special codes and devices to prove it's really you.

Some ways you might use electronic identification include entering a password on your iPad, using your fingerprint to unlock your phone, or scanning a special card to get into a building. These special codes and devices make it harder for other people to pretend to be you, because they can't use your special toy or guess your password or fingerprint.

Electronic identification helps keep you and your information safe because it helps make sure that only you and the people you trust can access your things. It also makes things easier because you don't have to remember a lot of different passwords - the technology just knows it's you!
