1. An electronic computing device comprising:
a memory including a user account; and
an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the electronic processor is configured to
receive a request to access the user account and biometric data associated with the request,
determine whether an autofill assistance occurred while the biometric data was captured,
responsive to determining that the autofill assistance occurred while the biometric data was captured, identify data associated with the autofill assistance in the biometric data,
generate second biometric data by excluding the data associated with the autofill assistance from the biometric data, and
perform user authentication based on the second biometric data,
wherein, to determine whether the autofill assistance occurred while the biometric data was captured, the electronic processor is further configured to
generate an autofill detection number by subtracting a predetermined number of characters from a total number of characters entered into a data field,
confirm the autofill assistance occurred when the autofill detection number is equal to an expected number of characters, and
confirm the autofill assistance did not occur when the autofill detection number is different from the expected number of characters.
