Original Abstract Submitted

In some aspects, a device may receive swipe data associated with a swipe by a user of a user device. The swipe data may be received based on the swipe generating a user input that is indicative of a swipe input. The device may process, based on reference swipe data, the swipe data to determine whether the swipe is associated with an authorized user of the user device. The reference swipe data may be associated with previous swipes performed by the authorized user. The device may perform an action associated with access to a user interface of the user device based on whether the swipe data is determined to be associated with the authorized user.
