1. A computer-implemented method performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
initiating a biometric registration process on a computing device of a user, the computing device including a display and a biometric sensor;
receiving, during the biometric registration process, a first scan of a biometric feature of the user from the biometric sensor, the first scan including first biometric data;
extracting, during the biometric registration process, two or more distinct elements of the biometric feature from the first biometric data;
characterizing, during the biometric registration process, the first biometric data to generate first characterization data, the first characterization data defining a first orientation map of the two or more distinct elements relative to a coordinate system of the biometric sensor;
writing, during the biometric registration process, a biometric template to a memory device of the computing device;
recording, during the biometric registration process, the first characterization data for each of the two or more distinct elements in the biometric template;
after recording the first characterization data in the biometric template, prompting the user, via the display, to remove the biometric feature from the biometric sensor;
prompting the user, via the display, to replace the biometric feature on the biometric sensor;
receiving, during the biometric registration process, an additional scan of the biometric feature from the biometric sensor, the additional scan including second biometric data;
extracting, during the biometric registration process, two or more additional distinct elements of the biometric feature from the second biometric data;
characterizing, during the biometric registration process, the second biometric data to generate second characterization data, the second characterization data defining a second orientation map of the two or more additional distinct elements relative to the coordinate system of the biometric sensor;
validating, during the biometric registration process, the biometric template against the second biometric data;
after validating the biometric template, updating, during the biometric registration process, the biometric template with the second characterization data; and
in response to validating and updating the biometric template, transmitting a notification that the biometric registration process is complete.
