Techniques are disclosed relating to biometric authentication. In one embodiment, a computing device includes a controller circuit, a camera, and a secure circuit. The controller circuit is coupled to a button and detects when the button has been pressed. The camera captures a set of biometric data of a user. The secure circuit performs an authentication of the user by confirming that a notification identifying the button being pressed was received from the controller circuit and by comparing the set of biometric data with another set of biometric data for an authorized user of the computing device. In some embodiments, the controller circuit is configured to maintain a timestamp indicative of when the button has been pressed and usable by the secure circuit to confirm that the button is pressed within a threshold time period of the authentication being performed.

Biometric authentication with user input

The present disclosure relates to making payments with a mobile device. In one example process, the mobile device receives and stores information for one or more payment accounts on the mobile device. The mobile device is used to make payments using the payment accounts. In some examples, authorization to proceed with a payment is performed before each purchase made by the user. The authorization process can include receiving a verification of the user, such as a fingerprint scan or passcode. In some examples, a payment account is selected from among available payment accounts. In some examples, an indication is displayed of a digital item associated with a purchased item. In some examples, a payment transaction is initiated with participants of an ongoing communication. In some examples, an application of a retailer is invoked based on the availability of the application. In some examples, a purchase recommendation is provided.

User interface for payments

In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for provisioning an electronic device with an account are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for providing usage information of an account are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for providing visual feedback on a representation of an account are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing the tracking of a category are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing a transfer of items are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing an authentication credential connected with an account are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for activating a physical account object are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing balance transfers are described.

User interfaces for managing an account

In some examples, an account is provisioned onto an electronic device. In some examples, the device receives a value to fund the account provisioned on the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device transacts with a contactless transaction terminal using the provisioned account and displays an indication of the transaction. In some examples, the electronic device transmits information corresponding to the provisioned account without checking for authentication. In some examples, the device receives user input initiating a process for moving the account from a first device to a second device. In some examples, the device receives account payment credentials from a second device when a set of payment criteria are met.
