1. A method for authenticating a user, comprising:
providing, by a user device, first biometric enrollment data of the user to a first enrollment system of a plurality of enrollment systems;
receiving, by the user device and from the first enrollment system, a first enrollment identifier identifying the first enrollment system, wherein each of the plurality of enrollment systems is associated with a unique enrollment identifier;
storing, by the user device, the first enrollment identifier identifying the first enrollment system into a digital wallet of the user, wherein the digital wallet of the user is controlled by the user and is within a trusted platform module (TPM) of the user device or a cloud computing system, both of which are separate from the first enrollment system;
in response to a request to access content on a relying party system, receiving, by the user device and from the user, a biometric marker of the user, and providing, by the user device, the biometric marker of the user and the first enrollment identifier from the digital wallet of the user to the relying party system based on a user selection between a first biometric verification process associated with the first enrollment identifier and a second biometric verification process associated with a second enrollment identifier, wherein the second enrollment identifier is associated with a second enrollment system of the plurality of enrollment systems, and wherein the first biometric verification process and the second biometric verification process are both associated with the same biometric marker; and
based on the relying party system identifying the first enrollment system using the first enrollment identifier and verifying the biometric marker of the user with the first enrollment system, accessing, by the user device, the requested content associated with the relying party system.
