 We have talked around this idea a lot, **authentication** is the process of verifying that someone is who they say they are.  This can happen in a variety of ways:
 * **Password Authentication**: This is one of the most common forms of authentication, where a user provides a username and a secret password to prove their identity. The system then checks whether the provided password matches the stored password associated with that username.
 * **Biometric Authentication**: Biometric authentication relies on unique physical or behavioral characteristics of an individual to verify their identity. Common biometric methods include fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris scanning, and voice recognition.
-* **Token-Based Authentication**: Token-based authentication relies on the use of a unique token, which can be a physical hardware device (hardware token) or a software-based token (software token or one-time password generated by an app). A comment implementation of token-based authentication is an app that asks for a users email or username, and sends a log-in link to the user's email address. Tokens are typically time-sensitive and change regularly, adding an extra layer of security to the authentication process.

 * **And More!** - There are other ways that users can be authenticated, but these are three of the more popular implementations.
