Learn Everything You Need to About the e-Aadhaar Password

After signing up for the Aadhar program and receiving your Aadhar card, you will be able to access a digital copy of your card through a download or printed copy. E-Aadhaar cards, the digital version, are password-protected. This password protects the e-Aadhaar PDF file so that it can't be opened without it.

This blog post will explain in detail what an e-Aadhaar password is and how it is used.

The e-Aadhaar: What Is It?

The electronic Aadhaar card, or e-Aadhaar, is a digital replacement for the traditional plastic card. As required by the Information Technology Act of 2000, it bears the UIDAI's digital signature. The act allows for the use of a digitally signed e-Aadhaar in place of a physical Aadhaar card. Despite its similarity in purpose, an e-Aadhaar card cannot replace a physical Aadhaar card.  

• The electronic version of an Aadhaar card has the same legal standing as the paper version.
• You can use it as identification with it.
• In order to obtain an e-Aadhaar, one must go to either the UIDAI website, the Aadhaar app, the DigiLocker app, or the UMANG app.
• A person's name, gender, photo, date of birth, and 12-digit unique identification number are all included on an e-Aadhaar card, just like they would be on a physical Aadhaar card.

In brief, what is an e-Aadhaar password?

Your personal information on the e-Aadhaar is protected by a password, which is a security feature. The password is made up of your first four initials (capitalized) and your birth year (YYYY formatted) as they appear on your Aadhaar card.

And here are a few more illustrations:

• Your e-Aadhaar password would be LISA1980 if your name is Tisa Lee and your birth year was 1980.
• Password for your e-Aadhaar would be VEEN1995 if your name is Veena Sharma and your birth year was 1995.
• E.g., if your name is MUKUND and your birth year was 1970, your e-Aadhaar password would be MUKU1970.
• To use an example, if your name is JIA and your birth year was 1975, your e-Aadhaar password would be JIA1975.

When Is the Aadhaar Card PIN Necessary?

To view and make use of your electronic Aadhaar card, you'll need the corresponding password, or e-Aadhaar. Your name, address, and biometric data are among the sensitive pieces of information stored on your Aadhaar card, so this safeguard was put in place to keep them safe. Your e-Aadhaar data is encrypted and secure, so no one can see it without the password.

2. A digital copy of the Aadhaar card can be used as a replacement if the physical card is lost or stolen.
3. A digital copy of the Aadhaar card can sometimes be used in place of the actual card.

The electronic Aadhaar card must be downloaded as a PDF file from the UIDAI website before it can be printed. Enter your e-Aadhaar password to open this PDF file. The first four capital letters of your name and the year you were born make up this password. You can then open the PDF file and print your e-Aadhaar card once you have entered the password. Your e-Aadhaar card is now even more secure in its digital form thanks to this password.

Putting a password on an e-Aadhaar card serves what purpose?

Personal and private information is stored on an Aadhaar card. It's readily available for download from the internet. For this reason, it is password-protected, so that no sensitive information can be accessed without the appropriate authorization.
