Ask the user to authenticate with their credentials to verify a sensitive operation. An example of this is the show password button in Chrome password manager.
Here's an API example:
const osAuth = require("os-auth");
(async () => {
const authed = await osAuth()
if (authed) console.log("User authenticated! Process with the data-sensitive operation.")
else console.log("User not authenticated.")
})()
