An article of manufacture having non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code executable by a processor in a mobile device, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising:

• (a) computer readable program code maintaining, in the mobile device, a profile storing authentication data associated with a primary user of the mobile device;
• (b) computer readable program code identifying the mobile device is at a business location;
• (c) computer readable program code non-intrusively authenticating the primary user as an authorized user of the mobile device based on any of the following:
• (1) non-intrusively authenticating the primary user based on identifying presence of another electronic device associated with the primary user, (2) non-intrusively authenticating the primary user via facial recognition, and (3) non-intrusively authenticating, via a camera in the mobile device, the primary user;
• and
• upon successful authentication:
• (d) computer readable program code displaying a scanning code over a lock screen wallpaper when the mobile device is in a screen locked state and when the mobile device is at the business location;
• and
• (e) wherein power is conserved in the mobile device by displaying the scanning code without unlocking the mobile device.

A mobile device comprising:

• a processor;
• a display;
• storage storing computer readable programmable code, which when executed by the processor implements a method to conserve power in the mobile device having a lock screen wallpaper, the storage comprising computer readable program code to:
• (a) maintain, in the mobile device, a profile storing authentication data associated with a primary user of the mobile device;
• (b) identify the mobile device is at a business location;
• (c) identify presence of another electronic device associated with the primary user;
• (d) non-intrusively authenticating the primary user as an authorized user of the mobile device based on identifying presence of another electronic device associated with the primary user, and upon successful authentication:
• (e) displaying a scanning code over a lock screen wallpaper when the mobile device is in a screen locked state and when the mobile device is at the business location;
• and
