Abstract
An electronic terminal and method for user authentication determine if a user may access the electronic device according to a comparison of a captured user image with a reference image. If authentication fails using the captured user image, a second user authentication method may be displayed. If authentication is successful via the second user authentication method, the reference image may be updated according to the captured user image.
