In order to ensure the Aadhaar Services are accessible to linguistically diverse residents of India, the menu, button labels, and form fields are provided in English as well as in 12 Indian languages (Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu). After installation, the user will be prompted to select any of the preferred languages.
However, the input fields in the forms will accept data entered in the English language only. This is done to help the user avoid the challenges of typing in regional languages (due to limitations in the mobile keyboards). me-based One-Time Password is an automatically generated temporary password that can be used instead of SMS-based OTP.

Once the resident enables the Biometric Locking system their biometric remains closed till the Aadhaar Holder chose to either Unlock it (which is temporary) or Disable the Locking system.
