How To Protect Your Aadhaar?
Worried about Aadhaar misuse? UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has an online service to show you, when and where Aadhaar card was used. Your mobile number must be linked to Aadhaar to make use of this facility. Aadhaar must be linked to mobile number to generate the OTP (One Time Password).
1. Check where your Aadhaar was used
Aadhaar is very safe and your biometric details will not be leaked. Still....it would be wise to protect biometric details. The Aadhaar biometric locking system allows you to lock and temporarily unlock your biometrics.
Lock your Aadhaar
After your Aadhaar is locked, it cannot be used for any biometric-based authentication.
You have locked the Aadhaar. What if you want to authenticate an Aadhaar-based KYC at a later time? Simply unblock the biometrics which results in temporarily unlocking the biometrics, which leaves it usable for a period of 10 minutes. Your biometrics are automatically blocked after 10 minutes.
Use the biometric locking system with care to prevent denial of authentication services.
Aadhaar is very important and biometric details must be protected. With Aadhaar enabled payments taking off, make sure your Aadhaar is not misused. Be Wise, Get Rich.
