Identity theft is one of the biggest challenges to protecting electronic devices, especially in protecting Smartphones. Authentication and its techniques are the most vulnerable to problems, such as traditional, pattern password and PIN code etc. In addition, biometric techniques are safer than normal authentication methods. Therefore, these techniques are related to the characteristics of human beings and used to authenticate who owns them. Besides, authentication is granted by a remote server to protect authentication data onto theft and manipulation. However, remote servers are vulnerable to problems such as hacker attacks, and systems and communications problems. On the other hand, the connection to the server should be available when requesting authentication from a Smartphone, otherwise the user will not be able to access his device. In this paper, we discuss the failure connected to remote server in order to obtain authentication, and some cases lead to non-authentication. We are discussing the user's access to the Smartphone by any biometric devices currently in use. When using of the local server if the remote server fails, by creating a Virtual Server (VS) on the Smartphone. For example: a user cans only access to his device, when obtain on the authorize form VS. It has the same specifications and environment, as the original server.
