a biometric authentication sensor configured to obtain biometric information;
at least one processor; and
a memory configured to store an application and one or more instructions which, which executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive an input for executing the application;
based on receiving the input for executing the application, begin launching the application by loading public content corresponding to the application, and determine whether the application is registered with an authentication manager program;
based on identifying that the application is registered with the authentication manager program, operate the biometric sensor to perform a biometric authentication while the public content is loaded; and
based on the biometric sensor completing the biometric authentication, complete the launching of the application by loading the public content and dedicated content associated with the biometric authentication.
