Abstract

Techniques may be used to authenticate a user to a computing device using their skin tone. A color sample may be received while a computing device remains in a power saving state. A user may be authenticated when the color sample matches a skin tone record. The computing device may be placed in an active state when the user is authenticated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
