You can temporarily unlock your biometrics in Aadhaar by
following these steps:
- Go

on the "My Aadhaar" option and select "Lock/Unlock
Biometrics" from the dropdown menu. - Enter
your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the security code displayed on the
screen. - Click
on the "Generate OTP" button to receive a One-Time Password on
your registered mobile number. - Enter
the OTP in the field provided and click on the "Login" button. - Once
you are logged in, you will see the option to unlock your biometrics.
Click on the "Unlock Biometrics" button. - Enter
the security code displayed on the screen to confirm your request to
unlock your biometrics. - Your
biometrics will be unlocked for a specific time period, which you can
select from the drop-down menu. You can choose to unlock your biometrics
for a period of 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or until the time of the day. - Once
you have selected the time period, click on the "Unlock" button

It's important to note that unlocking your biometrics
temporarily is a security feature that should be used only when necessary. Make
sure to lock your biometrics again after you have completed the authentication
process to protect your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your
personal information.
