capturing, by the user device, a fingerprint sample of the user of the user device;

storing, by the user device, the fingerprint sample;

determining, by the user device, whether to generate a fingerprint template, wherein determining whether to generate the fingerprint template comprises determining whether a fingerprint sampling pattern pertaining to the user can be identified;

identifying the fingerprint sampling pattern based on one or more threshold values being satisfied, wherein one of the one or more threshold values includes that a threshold frequency of fingerprint samples belonging to a same finger of the user are stored;

generating, by the user device, the fingerprint template based on determining to generate the fingerprint template;

storing, by the user device, the fingerprint template;

providing, by the user device, a notification to the user that indicates that the fingerprint identification service can be activated;

receiving, by the user device, from the user, a request to activate the fingerprint identification service; and

activating, by the user device, the fingerprint identification service based on the request to activate the fingerprint identification service.

prompting, by the user device, via a graphical user interface, that the user verify that the fingerprint template belongs to the user.

6. A user device comprising:

a fingerprint reader;

a memory, wherein the memory stores software; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the software to:

capture, via the fingerprint reader, a fingerprint sample of the user of the user device based on an invocation of the setup;

store the fingerprint sample;

determine whether to generate a fingerprint template, wherein, when determining whether to generate the fingerprint template, the processor is further configured to execute the software to:

determine whether a fingerprint sampling pattern pertaining to the user can be identified based on one or more threshold values being satisfied, wherein one of the one or more threshold values include that a threshold frequency of fingerprint samples belonging to a same finger of the user are captured;

generate the fingerprint template based on a determination to generate the fingerprint template;

store the fingerprint template;

provide a notification to the user that indicates that the fingerprint identification service can be activated;

receive a request to activate the fingerprint identification service from the user; and

activate the fingerprint identification service based on the request to activate the fingerprint identification service.

7. The user device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a button, wherein the button comprises the fingerprint reader, and wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to:

aggregate partial fingerprint samples, wherein the fingerprint sample is one of the partial fingerprint samples;

determine whether an aggregation of the partial fingerprint samples constitutes a complete fingerprint sample based on a threshold value that indicates a minimum area of the complete fingerprint sample; and

generate the fingerprint template based on a determination that the aggregation of the partial fingerprint samples constitutes the complete fingerprint sample.

8. The user device of claim 6 , wherein, when capturing the fingerprint sample, the processor is further configured to execute the software to:

capture the fingerprint sample without prompting the user to provide the fingerprint sample.

9. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the software to:

map the fingerprint template to one of multiple users of the user device, wherein the user is one of the multiple users.

10. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the notification comprises a graphical element in a notification area of a home screen.

11. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the user device is a wireless mobile device.

12. A non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions executable by a processor of a computational device, which when executed, cause the computational device to:

invoke a setup of a biometric identification service of the computational device, wherein the setup automatically sets up the biometric identification service without receiving a request from a user to set up the biometric identification service;

capture a biometric sample of the user of the computational device;

store the biometric sample;

determine whether to generate a biometric template, wherein the biometric template includes a fingerprint template, and wherein the instructions to determine whether to generate the biometric template comprise instructions to determine whether a fingerprint sampling pattern pertaining to the user can be identified;

identify the fingerprint sampling pattern based on one or more threshold values being satisfied, wherein one of the one or more threshold values includes that a threshold frequency of fingerprint samples belonging to a same finger of the user are stored;

generate the biometric template based on a determination to generate the biometric template;

store the biometric template;

provide a notification to the user that indicates that the biometric identification service can be activated;

receive a request to activate the biometric identification service from the user; and

activate the biometric identification service based on the request to activate the biometric identification service.
