This will help you determine what type of \u200buser data you\u2019ll need, as well as when and how to authenticate users. Additionally, decide on which methods\u200c to\u2063 use \u200dfor authentication, such as one-time passwords and biometric \u200brecognition.<\/p>\n<p>Data\u200c encryption is key.
