1. A computer-implemented method for recognizing a user, comprising:

  • obtaining biometric data of a first user from a sensor while the first user is in a field of view of the sensor;

    determining a biometric profile which is a best match to the biometric data of the first user, the biometric profile is linked to a first user account;

    determining a confidence level of the best match;

    determining whether the confidence level is in a first, second or third range;

    if the confidence level is in the first range, signing the first user into the first user account without prompting the first user to confirm his or her identity;

    if the confidence level is in the second range, which is below the first range, displaying an image of a user associated with the first user account on a user interface while prompting the first user to confirm his or her identity; and

    if the confidence level is in the third range, which is below the second range, determining a biometric profile which is a second best match to the biometric data of the first user, the biometric profile which is the second best match is linked to a second user account, and displaying the image of the user associated with the first user account and an image of a user associated with the second user account on the user interface while prompting the first user to confirm his or her identity.
