Technology.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0In today’s world, there’s hardly any government or non-governmental task that’s possible without an Aadhaar card. Whether opening a new bank account, getting a new mobile SIM card, or receiving a subsidy from a government scheme\u2014Aadhaar has become mandatory everywhere. But amidst this widespread dependence, a significant threat lurks. Are you sure that someone isn’t misusing your fingerprint or Aadhaar number without your knowledge? People often remain careless about this, which can later lead to serious trouble. To combat this threat, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) offers a highly effective tool that allows you to access your Aadhaar card’s entire history.<\/span><\/p>\n

UIDAI report will reveal the secret, entire ‘login’ history will be revealed in minutes<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

UIDAI allows the public to view their “Authentication History” for the past six months. This allows you to clearly see when and where your digital data has been used. Downloading this online report will provide you with the following information:<\/span><\/p>\n

Mode of use: You will clearly know whether your Aadhaar has been used through biometric (thumb impression), iris (pupil of the eye) or just through OTP received on the mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exact time and date: The exact day and minute of your Aadhaar authentication is recorded in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Name of the organization: The most important thing is that the name of the agency which has accessed your data, be it government department, private bank, digital wallet or telecom company, will also be revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The perfect security shield: How to lock your biometrics online<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

If you want to prevent anyone from cloning your thumbprint or using your name behind your back, you should definitely use the “Biometric Lock” feature. To do this, you’ll need to download the UIDAI’s “My Aadhaar” portal or the “mAadhaar” app to your smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n

There, you can completely seal your data by selecting the “Lock\/Unlock Biometrics” option. After this, even if a cybercriminal attempts to use your fingerprint, the system will reject it. Whenever you need to withdraw money or use your thumbprint, you can instantly unlock it online for 10 minutes through the app, which automatically locks again after the task is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you notice any discrepancy, do not delay, immediately take help of this government number.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

If, while checking your history, you notice a transaction or authentication that you never made, don’t take it lightly. This is a clear indication that your data is unsafe. In such a situation, without wasting a moment, call UIDAI’s official, toll-free helpline number 1947 to report the matter. Additionally, you can also file a complaint online by visiting UIDAI’s digital portal, so that the fraudulent transaction or SIM card can be blocked in a timely manner, avoiding any legal complications or financial losses.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
