What is Password authentication?

What is Password authentication?

Answers

Kavungya
This method uses secret data e.g. strings of character to control access to a system and is normally used together with usernames. The passwords are either created by the user or assigned by system administrators. Usually, limitations to password creation include length restrictions, a requirement of number characters, uppercase letters or special characters. The system may also force a user to change their passwords after a given amount of time.
