Original Abstract Submitted

an authentication information management device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a provisional registration request including first biometric information of a user and a deposit amount; a registration unit configured to register provisional registration information in which a payment balance based on the deposit amount included in the provisional registration request has been associated with the first biometric information; an authentication control unit configured to control first biometric authentication using the first biometric information for second biometric information in response to a payment request including the second biometric information and a payment amount; a payment unit configured to pay the payment amount using the payment balance associated with the first biometric information in a case in which the first biometric authentication has succeeded; and a usage control unit configured to control a use of the provisional registration information.
