1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a display and an input element with an integrated biometric sensor;
while the device is unlocked for a first user account, displaying a user interface that is associated with the first user account, wherein:
the device is associated with a plurality of user accounts including the first user account and a second user account;
the second user account is associated with biometric information that enables unlocking of the second user account;
while displaying the user interface that is associated with the first user account, receiving an input via the input element with the integrated biometric sensor; and
in accordance with a determination that the input meets second-user switching criteria while the second user account has an active session on the device, wherein the second-user switching criteria include a requirement that biometric information detected during the input with the input element is consistent with biometric information for the second user account of the plurality of user accounts:
unlocking the device with respect to the second user account;
locking the device with respect to the first user account; and
replacing display of the user interface associated with the first user account with a user interface associated with the second user account.
