Abstract
Systems and methods for authenticating a user by a combination of the user's fingerprint and a tactile pattern are provided. According to one embodiment, a computing device captures a tactile pattern that is drawn by a user's finger on a touch panel that is operationally connected to the computing device. The computing device captures one or more fingerprints of the user using a fingerprint reader component of the computing device at one or more locations on the touch panel while the user is drawing the tactile pattern. The computing device matches the captured tactile pattern and fingerprints with a stored tactile pattern and fingerprints and authenticates the user if both the captured tactile pattern and fingerprints match with the stored tactile pattern and fingerprints.
