1. A credential authorization device, comprising:
a first fingerprint sensor configured to sense first fingerprint data of a current authorized user in contact with the first fingerprint sensor, wherein the current authorized user is permitted to authorize a transaction;
a second fingerprint sensor configured to sense second fingerprint data of a prospective authorized user in contact with the second fingerprint sensor, wherein the sensing by the second fingerprint sensor is simultaneous or concurrent with the sensing by the first fingerprint sensor; and
one or more processors configured to:
compare the sensed first fingerprint data with stored first fingerprint data, to verify that the sensed first fingerprint data corresponds with the current authorized user; and
upon verification of the current authorized user, store the sensed second fingerprint data corresponding with the prospective authorized user, and replace credentials of the current authorized user with credentials of the prospective authorized user, to replace the current authorized user with the prospective authorized user as the current authorized user permitted to authorize the transaction.
