1. A method of algorithmically determining an identity of a user of a computerized mobile device, the method comprising:
determining at least one context of the user based at least on a user's online activity during a prescribed period of time, wherein the at least one context is further determined at least in part based on data on a user's client device and at least one third-party sensor or device, wherein the prescribed period of time varies dynamically based on how frequently the user changes context;
algorithmically selecting, based on the determined at least one context, a plurality of biometric parameters upon which to base the identity determination;
obtaining biometric data specific to the user via at least the computerized mobile device, the obtained biometric data relating to the selected plurality of biometric parameters;
evaluating the obtained biometric data relating to the selected plurality of biometric parameters against data relating to one or more acceptance criteria; and
determining the identity of the user based at least on the evaluating.
