1. A device comprising:
a display component, wherein the display component is configured to operate at a first brightness level or a second brightness level; and
one or more processors operable to perform operations, the operations comprising:
detecting, via a graphical user interface displayed by the display component and while the display component is operating at the first brightness level, a fingerprint authentication triggering event;
determining, based on the fingerprint authentication triggering event, a first portion of the graphical user interface to operate at the second brightness level;
transitioning, in response to the fingerprint authentication triggering event, the display component from the first brightness level to the second brightness level; and
while displaying the first portion of the display component at the second brightness level, displaying a second portion of the display component at the first brightness level by applying a semi-transparent virtual layer over the second portion.
