Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems for authenticating an enrolled user of a biometric authentication and/or identification system having an exception mode, in which the enrolled user submits a temporary password during authentication. The temporary password is only generated if the enrolled user's identity is verified and the person authorizing a change to the exception mode submits a valid biometric identifier.
