Toggling biometric authentication

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving user input indicating a first user selection of a first form of biometric authentication from a plurality of forms of biometric authentication, providing a first interface for display on a user device, the first interface corresponding to the first form, receiving first biometric data, the first biometric data being provided using the first interface, and selectively enabling communication between the user device and a back-end system based on the first biometric data.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
determining, by the at least one processor, a first form of biometric authentication from a plurality of forms of biometric authentication; providing, by the at least one processor, a first interface for display on a user device, the first interface corresponding to the first form; receiving, by the at least one processor, first biometric data provided using the first interface; determining, by the at least one processor, that a number of attempts to authenticate a user of the user device based on the first biometric data is at least a threshold number of attempts, the threshold number of attempts being at least two, and in response, determining, by the at least one processor, a second form of biometric authentication different than the first form, wherein determining the second form of biometric authentication is based on a user selection from a suggested list of authentication forms presented on the user device, and wherein the suggested list includes authentication forms that are appropriate for an environmental context that is determined based on a current location of the user device; providing, by the at least one processor, a second interface for display on the user device, the second interface corresponding to the second form; receiving, by the at least one processor, second biometric data provided using the second interface; and selectively enabling, by the at least one processor, user access to data, the selectively enabling being based on the second biometric data.
