New Aadhaar App Launched: Enhanced Security, Biometric Lock, Virtual ID Features

  • UIDAI replaces old mAadhaar with a new 'Aadhaar App' featuring advanced security to combat cyber fraud.
  • The app allows login via Face Authentication, Fingerprint Scan, or PIN after initial OTP verification, storing data securely.
  • Key features include biometric lock/unlock, Virtual ID (VID) for selective data sharing, and offline QR code for identity proof.
  • TOTP (Time-based OTP) is available for secure authentication, reducing reliance on SMS and preventing SIM swap fraud.
  • Manage up to five family profiles, update details like address/mobile number, and check 'Authentication History' directly within the app.
