1. A method comprising:
authenticating, by a computing device, a user;
determining, by a security component executing on the computing device, that the user is authenticated and in control of the computing device;
determining, by the security component, whether the user has maintained continuous control of the computing device by interpreting data indicative of user location to determine whether the data indicates the user has remained within a threshold distance of the computing device, with a determination that the user has not maintained continuous control including a determination that the user has not remained within the threshold distance from the computing device; and
when the determination is that the user has not maintained continuous control:
issuing instructions, by the security component, that cause the computing device to enter a locked state; and
issuing instructions, by the security component, that cause the computing device to enter an unlocked state when:
the security component determines, from interpreting additional visual data provided by the computing device, that the user has returned within the threshold distance from the computing device after a first period of time; and
the security component determines, from interpreting the additional visual data, that the user was in continuous possession of an electronic device during the first period of time.
