You do not actually need a user ID for DigiLocker. Instead of a traditional username, you can use your Aadhaar number or registered mobile number to log in.
Here's a breakdown:
-
No Username Required: DigiLocker prioritizes security and ease of use by eliminating the need to remember a separate username.
-
Login Options:
- Aadhaar Number: You can use your 12-digit Aadhaar number as your primary identifier to log in.
- Registered Mobile Number: You can also use the mobile number you registered with DigiLocker to log in.
-
OTP Verification: Regardless of whether you use your Aadhaar number or mobile number, you will receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile number. This OTP is required to complete the login process, providing an extra layer of security.
-
Why this approach? This method streamlines the login process and links your DigiLocker account directly to your identity documents, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access.
In summary, forget about needing a DigiLocker user ID; your Aadhaar number or registered mobile number serves as your login identifier, authenticated via OTP.
