Reliance authentication

Reliance authentication is a way of making sure that someone is who they say they are. It works by asking the person to provide some kind of proof that they are who they say they are — like providing a code or a password, taking a picture of themselves, or using their fingerprint. That way, you can confirm that the person is who they say they are before they can do something like log into a website or access a secure area.
