In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media (transitory and non-transitory) are described that are associated with user profile selection using contextual authentication. In various embodiments, a first user of a computing device may be authenticated and have an access control state corresponding to a first user profile established, the computing device may select a second user profile based at least in part a changed user characteristic, and the computing device may present a resource based at least in part on the second user profile. In various embodiments, the computing device may include a sensor and a user profile may be selected based at least in part on an output of the sensor and a previously stored template generated by a machine learning classifier.
