There is described an electronic device comprising a biometric authentication sensor and a control circuit, and a method thereof. The biometric authentication sensor detects an object in proximity. The control circuit activates an authentication operation in determining that sensor coverage exceeds a predetermined threshold. The control circuit provides user feedback associated to the sensor coverage in determining that the sensor coverage does not exceed the threshold.
