15 claims: 8 independent, 7 dependent

  1. 1
    A method, comprising:at a computer system that is in communication with one or more biometric sensors and an external accessory device: receiving a request at the computer system to perform a secure operation with the computer system;and in response to the request to perform the secure operation with the computer system: in accordance with a determination that biometric data captured by the computer system meets a set of biometric authentication criteria, performing the secure operation;and in accordance with a determination that the biometric data does not meet the set of biometric authentication criteria and in accordance with a determination that one or more states of the external accessory device meets a set of accessory-based criteria that includes a criterion that is met when the external accessory device is in an unlocked state and a criterion that is met when the external accessory device is physically associated with a user, performing the secure operation.
  2. 3
    The method of any one of claims 1-2, further comprising:after receiving the request to perform the secure operation with the computer system, capturing, via the one or more biometric sensors, biometric data.
  3. 4
    The method of any one of claims 1-3, wherein the request to perform the secure operation is a request to perform a secure operation of a first type and performing the secure operation includes performing the secure operation of the first type, the method further comprising:receiving a request at the computer system to perform a secure operation of a second type, different from the first type;and in response to the request at the computer system to perform the secure operation of the second type with the computer system: in accordance with a determination that biometric data captured by the computer system meets a second set of biometric authentication criteria, performing the secure operation of the second type;and in accordance with a determination that the biometric data does not meet the set of biometric authentication criteria, forgoing performing the secure operation of the second type.
  4. 5
    The method of any of claims 1-4, wherein performing the secure operation in accordance with a determination that the biometric data does not meet the set of biometric authentication criteria and in accordance with a determination that the one or more states of the external accessory device meets a set of accessory-based criteria is performed when the determination that biometric data captured by the computer system does not meet the set of biometric authentication criteria occurs.
  5. 6
    The method of any one of claims 1-5, wherein the computer system is in communication with a display generation component, the method further comprising:after receiving a request at the computer system to perform a secure operation with the computer system: in accordance with a determination that a determination of whether the biometric data meets the set of biometric authentication criteria is being made, displaying, via the display generation component, a first indication;and in accordance with a determination that a determination of whether the one or more states of the external accessory device meets the set of accessory-based criteria is being made, displaying, via the display generation component, a second indication, different from the first indication.
  6. 7
    The method of any one of claims 1-6, wherein the external accessory device includes a display and the external accessory device displays, after the computer system performs the secure operation, a second visual indication that indicates that the computer system has performed the secure operation.
  7. 9
    The method of any one of claims 1-8, wherein the set of accessory-based criteria includes a criterion that is met after the computer system has performed the secure operation, in accordance with a determination that a set of authentication criteria, that does not include the set of accessory-based criteria, is satisfied within a period of time after the external accessory device is in the unlocked state and physically associated with the user.
  8. 10
    The method of any of claims 1-9, wherein the set of accessory-based criteria includes a criterion that is met when a determination is made that a physical object is covering a portion of a face of a user.
  9. 11
    The method of any of claims 1-10, wherein the set of accessory-based criteria includes a criterion that is met when the external accessory device is within a predetermined distance from the computer system.
  10. 12
    The method of any one of claims 1-11, wherein the set of accessory-based criteria includes a criterion that is met when a determination is made that the external accessory device has moved a first amount within a first predetermined time.
  11. 13
    The method of any one of claims 1-12, wherein the set of accessory-based criteria includes a criterion that is met when a determination is made that the external accessory device has been unlocked at least a first amount of times within a second predetermined period of time.
  12. 14
    A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with one or more biometric sensors and an external accessory device, the one or more programs including instructions for performing the method of any of claims 1-13.
  13. 15
    A computer system that is configured to communicate with one or more biometric sensors and an external accessory device, the computer system comprising: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 performing the method of any of claims 1-13.
