receiving a user input on a device;
comparing the user input with an active user profile on the device; and
in response to determining, based on the comparing, that the user input is inconsistent with the active user profile:
identifying a candidate device that is located within a threshold distance of the device;
determining whether the user input is consistent with a user profile of the candidate device; and
in response to determining that the user input is consistent with the user profile of the candidate device, activating the user profile of the candidate device as a temporary active user profile on the device.
