AuthenticationInterface

What it does

This interface defines the contract for customer authentication operations in Magento 2.

Developers use this to authenticate customers with passwords, handle failed login attempts, lock/unlock customer accounts after multiple failed attempts, and check if an account is currently locked.

It's essential for implementing secure login flows and protecting customer accounts from brute force attacks.
