1. A computer system, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
while at least a portion of the computer system is placed on a body of a first registered user, enabling the computer system to be operated in a first mode that includes permitted access to a plurality of features associated with the first registered user, and with one or more settings associated with a first user account associated with the first registered user, wherein enabling the computer system to be operated with the one or more settings associated with the first user account includes loading first gaze calibration information associated with the first user account, wherein the first gaze calibration information is used by the computer system in conjunction with one or more user inputs by the first registered user to respond to the one or more user inputs by the first registered user;
subsequent to enabling the computer system to be used in the first mode and with the one or more settings associated with the first user account associated with the first registered user, detecting that at least a portion of the computer system has been placed on a body of a respective user;
in response to detecting that at least a portion of the computer system has been placed on the body of the respective user:
in accordance with a determination that guest user criteria are satisfied, including a determination that biometric information received from the respective user does not correspond to the first registered user:
receiving one or more gaze calibration inputs from the respective user;
determining guest gaze calibration information based on the one or more gaze calibration inputs from the respective user; and
enabling the computer system to be operated in a second mode that includes restricted access to one or more of the plurality of features associated with the first registered user, and with one or more guest settings, wherein enabling the computer system to be operated with the one or more guest settings includes loading the guest gaze calibration information, wherein the guest gaze calibration information is different from the first gaze calibration information and is used by the computer system in conjunction with one or more user inputs by the respective user to respond to the one or more user inputs by the respective user;
subsequent to enabling the computer system to be used in the second mode and with the one or more guest settings, detecting that at least a portion of the computer system has been placed on a body of a second respective user; and
in response to detecting that at least a portion of the computer system has been placed on the body of the second respective user:
in accordance with a determination that biometric information received from the second respective user corresponds to the first registered user, enabling the computer system to be operated in the first mode and with the one or more settings associated with the first user account associated with the first registered user, including loading the first gaze calibration information associated with the first user account.
