Estimating the term…
Techniques are disclosed relating to devices that support biometric authentication. In various embodiments, a device includes a biosensor configured to collect biometric data from a user. An authentication system of the device is configured to perform a user authentication based on the collected biometric data. After performance of the user authentication, the authentication system receives sensor data indicating that the user remains collocated with the device and receives a request to confirm an authentication of the user. Based on the user authentication and the received sensor data, the authentication system confirms that the user has been authenticated. In various embodiments, the authentication system is configured to receive additional sensor data indicating that the user is no longer collocated with the device and, in response to a subsequent authentication request, require the user to perform another biometric authentication using the biosensor.
