Best Answer

Case sensitivity is when the data in question will be influenced on whether or not certain alphabetical characters are in uppercase or lowercase, thus the meaning of case sensitive.

For example, if someone said your personal password to something was case sensitive and you decided to use the phrase, "Password"...

"password" will not work. Likewise,

"PASSWORD" will not work, either.

"PaSSworD" will, of course, not do it as well.

If you entered "Password" and it is case-sensitive, "Password" will be what you need to enter every time.
