Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic device, comprising: a display; a biometric sensor; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: detecting a request to display a set of credentials, wherein the set of credentials includes a first credential and a second credential; in response to detecting the request to display the set of credentials: collecting, via the biometric sensor, a first set of biometric information; and after collecting the first set of biometric information and in accordance with a determination that the first set of biometric information is associated with a user who is authorized to use the set of credentials, concurrently displaying, via the display: a redacted version of the first credential; and a redacted version of the second credential; while concurrently displaying the redacted version of the first credential and the redacted version of the second credential, detecting a request to display a non-redacted version of the set of credentials; and in response to detecting the request to display the non-redacted version of the set of credentials, concurrently displaying, via the display: a non-redacted version of the first credential; and a non-redacted version of the second credential. 2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of credentials includes credentials that correspond to a plurality of different accounts of a user of the electronic device. 3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of credentials includes passwords for a plurality of different accounts of a user of the electronic device. 4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of credentials includes payment authorization information for a plurality of different payment accounts of a user of the electronic device. 5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of credentials includes one or more of: a user ID, a password, a credit card number, a bank account number, an address, a telephone number, and a shopping credential. 6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein: the redacted version of the first credential includes an indication of a length of the first credential; the redacted version of the second credential includes an indication of a length of the second credential; the non-redacted version of the first credential includes a human readable version of the first credential; and the non-redacted version of the second credential includes a human readable version of the second credential. 7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein: the redacted version of the first credential includes a non-redacted portion of the first credential; the redacted version of the second credential includes a non-redacted portion of the second credential; the non-redacted version of the first credential includes a human readable version of an entirety of the first credential; and the non-redacted version of the second credential includes a human readable version of an entirety of the second credential. 8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the first set of biometric information is associated with the user who is authorized to use the set of credentials includes a determination that the first set of biometric information matches at least one of a set of one or more enrolled sets of biometric information. 9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a biometric sensor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for: detecting a request to display a set of credentials, wherein the set of credentials includes a first credential and a second credential; in response to detecting the request to display the set of credentials: collecting, via the biometric sensor, a first set of biometric information; and after collecting the first set of biometric information and in accordance with a determination that the first set of biometric information is associated with a user who is authorized to use the set of credentials, concurrently displaying, via the display: a redacted version of the first credential; and a redacted version of the second credential; while concurrently displaying the redacted version of the first credential and the redacted version of the second credential, detecting a request to display a non-redacted version of the set of credentials; and in response to detecting the request to display the non-redacted version of the set of one of more credentials, concurrently displaying, via the display: a non-redacted version of the first credential; and a non-redacted version of the second credential. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of credentials includes credentials that correspond to a plurality of different accounts of a user of the electronic device. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of credentials includes passwords for a plurality of different accounts of a user of the electronic device. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of credentials includes payment authorization information for a plurality of different payment accounts of a user of the electronic device. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of credentials includes one or more of: a user ID, a password, a credit card number, a bank account number, an address, a telephone number, and a shopping credential. 14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein: the redacted version of the first credential includes an indication of a length of the first credential; the redacted version of the second credential includes an indication of a length of the second credential; the non-redacted version of the first credential includes a human readable version of the first credential; and the non-redacted version of the second credential includes a human readable version of the second credential. 15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein: the redacted version of the first credential includes a non-redacted portion of the first credential; the redacted version of the second credential includes a non-redacted portion of the second credential; the non-redacted version of the first credential includes a human readable version of an entirety of the first credential; and the non-redacted version of the second credential includes a human readable version of an entirety of the second credential. 16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the determination that the first set of biometric information is associated with the user who is authorized to use the set of credentials includes a determination that the first set of biometric information matches at least one of a set of one or more enrolled sets of biometric information. 17. A method, comprising: at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, a display, and a biometric sensor: detecting a request to display a set of credentials, wherein the set of credentials includes a first credential and a second credential; in response to detecting the request to display the set of credentials: collecting, via the biometric sensor, a first set of biometric information; and after collecting the first set of biometric infor
