The process of gaining access to a computer system, application, or network by providing credentials to authenticate one's identity. A user typically supplies a username and a corresponding password, which the system verifies against a stored database of authorized users. Successful authentication grants the user access rights and permissions associated with their account, while a failed attempt results in access being denied.
