Biometric profile creation

There is disclosed a method for use in authenticating a user. The method comprises obtaining, by an electronic apparatus, a biometric input from a user comprising a plurality of biometric attributes distinct to the user, wherein the biometric attributes comprise at least one currently active and at least one currently inactive biometric attribute for authentication at an authentication server. Additionally, the method comprises selecting, by the electronic apparatus, the at least one currently active biometric attribute for authenticating the user. Furthermore, the method comprises outputting, by the electronic apparatus, an authentication output including at least one biometric factor based on the at least one selected currently active biometric attribute, wherein the authentication output acts as an authentication input to a user authentication operation performed by the authentication server.
