5. The method of claim 1 , including:
while displaying the prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account, receiving entry of a log-in credential; and
in response to receiving entry of the log-in credential:
in accordance with a determination that the log-in credential is consistent with a log-in credential for the first user account, unlocking the device with respect to the first user account; and
in accordance with a determination that the log-in credential is not consistent with a log-in credential for the first user account, maintaining the device in the locked state.
6. The method of claim 1 , including:
while displaying the prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account, receiving entry of a log-in credential; and
in response to receiving entry of the log-in credential:
in accordance with a determination that the log-in credential is consistent with a log-in credential for the second user account, unlocking the device with respect to the second user account; and
in accordance with a determination that the log-in credential is not consistent with a log-in credential for the second user account, maintaining the device in the locked state.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the log-in user interface includes instructions to provide biometric information.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the device includes a secondary display that is adjacent to the biometric sensor; and
the method includes, while displaying the log-in user interface on the display of the device, displaying instructions at the secondary display to provide biometric information via the biometric sensor.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is a fingerprint sensor.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is a facial detection sensor.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is a retina scanner.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a biometric sensor, cause the electronic device to:
while the device is in a locked state, display a respective log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a plurality of user accounts including a first user account and a second user account;
while displaying the log-in user interface, receive biometric information about a user;
in response to receiving the biometric information:
in accordance with a determination that the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account of the plurality of user accounts while the first user account does not have an active session on the device, display, on the display, a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account;
in accordance with a determination that the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account of the plurality of user accounts while the second user account does not have an active session on the device, display, on the display, a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account; and
in accordance with a determination that the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account of the plurality of user accounts while the first user account has an active session on the device, unlock the device with respect to the first user account.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions also cause the electronic device to, in response to receiving the biometric information:
in accordance with a determination that the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account of the plurality of user accounts while the second user account has an active session on the device, unlock the device with respect to the second user account.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions also cause the electronic device to, in response to receiving the biometric information:
in accordance with a determination that the biometric information is not consistent with biometric information for any user account of the device, maintain the device in the locked state.
15. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors;
a display;
a biometric sensor; and
memory storing one or more programs that are configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
while the device is in a locked state, displaying a respective log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a plurality of user accounts including a first user account and a second user account;
