1. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more biometric sensors;
a display;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a request to perform an operation that requires authentication; and
in response to receiving the request to perform the operation that requires authentication, attempting to authenticate a user;
in accordance with a determination that authentication is successful, performing the operation; and
in accordance with a determination that authentication is not successful and that a set of error condition criteria is met:
displaying, via the display, an indication of a location of the one or more biometric sensors on the electronic device, wherein the indication is a graphical indicator that is displayed at a respective location on the display that is a first distance from a first edge of the electronic device, wherein the first edge of the electronic device corresponds to the location of the one or more biometric sensors on the electronic device, and wherein the respective location on display is a second distance from a second edge of the electronic device, wherein the second edge is opposite from the first edge, and wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and
