- User account. In systems engineering, a system document that authorizes a particular end-user to access and use this system. From the user perspective, a user account is the means by which this user can access the system.
- Username (login name, account name, handle, or, rarely, ID). The humanly-readable name of user account that the end-user utilizes to access that account. A username is an essential part of user data.
- Password (passcode). Any string of characters that is used to confirm user's identity. The NIST Digital Identity Guidelines defines a password as "the secret is memorized by a party called the claimant while the party verifying the identity of the claimant is called the verifier. When the claimant successfully demonstrates knowledge of the password to the verifier through an established authentication protocol, the verifier is able to infer the claimant's identity.
