According to one embodiment, an authentication system includes an authentication device. The authentication device includes a biometric scanner, a processor, and an interface. The biometric scanner receives biometric data for a user. The processor authenticates the user by comparing the received biometric data for the user to predetermined biometric information for the user. The processor generates an authentication token in response to the authentication. The processor continuously authenticates the user. The interface communicates the authentication token to a content providing device, the authentication token indicating the authentication of the user. The interface receives content from the content providing device in response to the authentication token.
