Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for selectively enabling and disabling biometric authentication are presented. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a device monitoring and management computer system, a device state indicator message comprising device state information associated with a mobile computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may set a biometric authentication flag for the mobile computing device based on the device state indicator message received from the device monitoring and management computer system. Then, the computing platform may generate an authentication functionality message for the mobile computing device based on the biometric authentication flag set for the mobile computing device, and the authentication functionality message may be configured to selectively enable or disable one or more biometric authentication functions provided by the mobile computing device. Thereafter, the computing platform may send, to the mobile computing device, the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device.
