1. A system operatively coupled to a device, the system automatically configures the device based on identity detection, comprising: an intelligence component that selects a type of verifiable identification input based upon a size of a set of potential users or based upon a uniqueness of the verifiable identification input with respect to the set of potential users; an identity component that determines an identity of a user of a device based upon the verifiable identification input associated with the user; and a configuration component that retrieves settings associated with the user and applies the settings to the device; and wherein the intelligence component automatically infers the settings associated with the user based on a probabilistic or statistical-based analysis of user information stored in a data store.
