The app will have information like name, date of birth, gender and address along with the user’s photograph. This app users Aadhaar registered phone number to verify the user and show the data.
The app also has a biometric lock/unlock feature to secure the personal data. The app also has “TOTP generation” (Time-Based One-Time Password) process which can be used instead of SMS-based OTP.
The app also makes it easy to share eKYC details with service providers.
If you do not have registered mobile number or you stopped using that, you need to change it by visiting nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Centre or Mobile Update End Point.
