Abstract:
An electronic device can include a processing device operatively connected to a biometric sensing device. The biometric sensing device may capture a biometric image each time a user interacts with the electronic device. When the user enters user identification data (UID) and a biometric image was recently captured, the biometric image is tagged with the UID. The user can access the electronic device and/or an application being accessed on the electronic device when a subsequently captured biometric image matches a tagged biometric image or an untagged biometric image that is assigned to a cluster that includes a tagged biometric image.
