Automatic association of authentication credentials with biometrics
First Claim
1. A method for automatic association of authentication credentials with biometrics, the method comprising:
- receiving authentication information from a user using at least one processing unit; and
outside of an enrollment process;
within a time-out period from receipt of the authentication information, receiving at least one biometric from the user using the at least one processing unit via a biometric sensor, wherein the at least one biometric is received while a touch sensitive surface of at least one touch input/output (I/O) device receives one or more touch inputs from the user; and
assigning at least one authentication credential to the at least one biometric, using the at least one processing unit, based at least on at least one authentication credential associated with the authentication information.

Abstract
A computing device may receive authentication information. Within a time-out period, a fingerprint may also be received. The computing device may assign one or more authentication credentials to the fingerprint based on authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information. In some implementations, the computing device may assign the authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information to the biometric. However, in other implementations, the computing device may assign different authentication credentials to the biometric based on one or more user preferences, defaults, security policies, and/or enterprise policies. In various implementations, the authentication credentials assigned to the biometric may be altered, such as by adding and/or removing one or more authentication credentials. Such alteration may be performed in response to a received user request, changed enterprise policy, changed security policy, fraud alert, and/or other such factor.

10. A system for automatic association of authentication credentials with biometrics, comprising:
-
at least one processing unit; at least one touch input/output (I/O) device coupled to the at least one processing unit, wherein the at least one touch I/O device comprises a touch sensitive surface, the touch sensitive surface configured to receive touch inputs for the system; a biometric sensor configured to receive biometrics; and at least one non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by the at least one processing unit to; receive authentication information from a user; and outside of an enrollment process; within a time-out period from receipt of the authentication information, receive at least one biometric from the user via the biometric sensor while the touch sensitive surface receives one or more touch inputs from the user; and assign at least one authentication credential to the at least one biometric based at least on at least one authentication credential associated with the authentication information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product comprising:
-
a first set of instructions, stored in at least one non-transitory machine readable medium, executable by at least one processing unit to receive authentication information from a user; a second set of instructions, stored in the at least one non-transitory machine readable medium, executable by the at least one processing unit outside of an enrollment process to, within a time-out period from receipt of the authentication information, receive at least one biometric from the user via a biometric sensor, wherein the at least one biometric is received while a touch sensitive surface of at least one touch input/output (I/O) device receives one or more touch inputs from the user; and a third set of instructions, stored in the at least one non-transitory machine readable medium, executable by the at least one processing unit outside of the enrollment process to assign at least one authentication credential to the at least one biometric based at least on at least one authentication credential associated with the authentication information.
