What is Authentication?
Authentication is the process of verifying that a user has the right to access a system with the claimed user identity, by confirming that the user possesses a secret assigned only to that identity. The most common authentication methods involve comparing the user name and password supplied by the user with those stored for that user in some centralized location.

Thank you for clearing the meaning of authentication. We all make use of this process in our day to day life i.e for accessing email accounts.
