Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting unauthorized use of an application may include (1) receiving, by the computing device, fingerprint data associated with a fingerprint, where the fingerprint data is received from the touchscreen, when a user interface of the application is displayed on the touchscreen, and in an absence of displaying a request for fingerprint data on the touchscreen, (2) comparing the received fingerprint data to a whitelist of authorized fingerprint data to determine a presence of a match, where the authorized fingerprint data indicates at least one fingerprint of at least one user that is authorized to access the application and (3) performing, when the received fingerprint data does not match the whitelist of authorized fingerprint data, a security action. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
