Explanation
Authentication, not authorization is the process of verifying a user's credentials.
The difference between authentication and authorization is:
✑ Authentication is proving your identity, proving that you are who you say you are. The most common example of this is logging in to a system
by providing credentials such as a username and password.
✑ Authorization is what you're allowed to do once you've been authenticated. For example, what resources you're allowed to access and what
you can do with those resources.
