Abstract

In some examples, a change in a current viewpoint of a user is detected while a three-dimensional environment is visible. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that at least a threshold amount of the object is visible from the viewpoint of the user, user authorization of the secure operation, using a virtual user interface object, is enabled. In some examples, the user is biometrically authenticated, at a first time, to perform a first type of biometric authentication. In some examples, a request to perform the secure operation is received at a second time. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the user met respective criteria between the first time and the second time, the secure operation is performed without performing, after receiving the request, the first type of biometric authentication.

in accordance with a determination that at least a threshold amount of the virtual user interface object is visible from the viewpoint of the user, and that the user is authorized to perform the secure operation, enabling user authorization of the secure operation using the virtual user interface object; and

in accordance with a determination that less than the threshold amount of the virtual user interface object is visible from the viewpoint of the user, forgoing enabling user authorization of the secure operation using the virtual user interface object.

13 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , the one or more programs including instructions for:

receiving, from the user, an input to authorize performance of the secure operation; and in response to receiving the input to authorize performance of the secure operation:

in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more performance criteria is satisfied, initiating performance of the secure operation, wherein the set of one or more performance criteria includes a visibility criterion that is met when at least the threshold amount of the virtual user interface object is visible from the viewpoint of the user; and

in accordance with the determination that the set of one or more performance criteria is not satisfied, forgoing initiating performance of the secure operation.

14 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein user authorization of the secure operation using the virtual user interface object includes user activation of a hardware user interface element.

15 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , the one or more programs including instructions for:
