ONAadhaar card is becoming the most important documents for any individual in India. Isn’t it very critical to secure crucial details from hackers who might try to steal your data? Some months back, even MS Dhoni’s Aadhaar data was leaked.
So today we will talk on how you can secure your Aadhaar card bio-metric details and prevent others to access your data, and also how to unlock it back later.
At the time of applying for Aadhaar card, you gave your photo, fingerprints and iris details (eye scan) which is called biometric details.
Nowadays, every organization like phone companies, financial organizations have come up with the concept of e-KYC, where they will just enter your 12 digit Aadhaar number into their Aadhaar-based authentication system instead of asking for all your details when you want to open an account, and it will access all your information like name, date of birth, address etc. from the Aadhaar database.
If you lock your bio-metric details then no one will have the authority to use it without your permission. Not even any government institution. If you want to perform e-KYC then you can unlock it for 10 minutes, after that it will lock again automatically.
This locking and unlocking can be done only through online and your mobile number or mail ID must be registered in your Aadhaar.
Unlocking Aadhaar details gives you two options which are unlocking on a temporary basis and on a permanent basis. Here are the steps to unlock.
