mAadhaar App For Android
The app is especially for Aadhaar card holders. The app will carry demographic information like name, photo, date of birth and address. In addition to that, it comes with a biometric locking/unlocking feature to secure the personal data.
So, after downloading the app, you will have to set up a password followed by entering your 12-digit Aadhaar number. The app will then send an SMS from your registered mobile number for verification. Well, the app has a “TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) generation” process, which can be used in-place of SMS based OTP.
