"authentification" is not a word and does not mean anything. I think
you mean "authentication".
This isn't targeted directly at you, but since its use is becoming so
widespread, I feel compelled to point it out. I think some people use
it to be cute or something, but its happening so much lately that I'm
not sure if people know it's not actually a word.

I use it sometimes by mistake, because it is "Authentifizierung" in german,
and "authentification" resembles this most closely in english. So please
forgive us :-)
Ciao,

Please forgive me this fault :-), but the German translation for "authentication" is
"Authentifizierung" so I ran into this trap.
