Line 1: '''Password Authentication Protocol''', sometimes abbreviated '''PAP''', is a simple authentication protocol used to authenticate a user to a remote access server or [[Internet service provider\|Internet service provider(ISP)]]. Almost all [[Network operating system]] remote servers support PAP. PAP transmits unencrypted [[ASCII]] passwords over the network and is therefore considered insecure. PAP is used as a last resort when the remote access server does not support a stronger authentication protocol.
