Two factor authentication
To make Aadhaar very strong, it needs to link its mobile number and e-mail. If this happens, One Time Password (OTP) will be required for Aadhaar verification. Linked mobile number will come. Aadhaar will not be verified without OTP. This way misuse of Aadhaar can be avoided.
Masked Aadhaar copy
Give photocopy of masked Aadhaar card wherever photocopy of Aadhaar card is required. Masked Aadhaar does not contain the full Aadhaar number but only the last 4 digits. Through this Aadhaar is verified but as the complete Aadhaar number is not visible, no one can misuse it.
Biometrics Lock
Aadhaar can also be kept secure by locking biometrics. Biometrics lock means no one can use your thumb, finger and iris print against your will. You can lock the biometric by visiting the UIDAI website. OTP based authentication continues even after locking biometrics.
virtual identity
In Virtual Identity (VID), the Aadhaar number is hidden and a temporary 16-digit virtual ID is generated. It verifies the user’s identity even without revealing the Aadhaar number. VID is only valid for a certain period of time. Virtual identity can be created through Aadhaar portal or M-Aadhaar.
