Aadhaar is the most important identity verification document of our country. It is very important to protect the base and prevent its misuse. The Government of India has taken a number of measures to strengthen the security of Aadhaar and to provide control to the resident to protect personal data. One such feature is the lock and unlocking of the base to protect the base.
Lock your base like this
If you want to protect your Aadhaar from being used in any kind of fraud, you must have a 16-digit virtual ID (VID) number. If not, it can also be generated via SMS. You write the last 4 or 8 digits of Aadhaar after the space by writing GVID in the message box of the phone from your registered mobile number. After this, send this message to 1947. After getting the VID, click on the Unlock radio button and fill the latest VID. Then enter security code and ask for OTP or select TOTP and click on submit. Now your Aadhar card will be unlocked.
If you lock your Aadhaar then no one can do any kind of verification using UID, UID token and ANCS token for biometric, demographic and OTP based authentication.
