Abstract
Mechanisms are provided to efficiently and effectively authenticate a user of a device. Passcode information such as passwords, pins, and access codes are obtained along with biometric information to periodically authenticate a user of a device. A user identity confidence score may be generated and continually modified by using data such as passcode information, biometric information, and/or user physical interaction characteristics information. If the user identify confidence score falls beneath a particular threshold, additional user authentication information may be requested.
