1. A system comprising: a user graspable housing comprising a user contactable region;a substantial planar tactile element coupled to the user contactable region;a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint and transmit a fingerprint signal associated with the fingerprint, wherein the fin
1. A system comprising: a user graspable housing comprising a user contactable region;a substantial planar tactile element coupled to the user contactable region;a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint and transmit a fingerprint signal associated with the fingerprint, wherein the fingerprint sensor is coupled within the tactile element;a processor coupled to the fingerprint sensor, the processor configured to: determine whether a user is an authorized user based in part on the fingerprint signal; anddetermine a haptic signal based in part on whether the user is an authorized user; andan actuator assembly positioned within the user graspable housing and coupled to the tactile element, the actuator assembly configured to receive the haptic signal and output a haptic effect. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the user contactable region comprises one or more of: a handle, a grip, a stylus, or a trigger. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the substantial planar tactile element is coupled to a contact surface that is one or more of: substantially planar, curved, or textured. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user graspable housing comprises a handheld device. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the handheld device comprises one or more of: a keyless remote, a bar code scanner, a metal detector, a controller, or a cellular telephone. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the haptic effect is configured to provide status information associated with the handheld device. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the fingerprint sensor comprises a user input device. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the actuator assembly comprises one or more of: a piezoelectric ceramic actuator, a voice coil, a moving magnet actuator, a solenoid, an electro-active polymer, or a solid state element. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the haptic effect comprises one or more of: a vibration, a controlled pulse, or a periodic force sensation. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the haptic effect comprises a haptic effect localized to the tactile element. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the haptic effect comprises one of: an indication that a user is not an authorized user or an indication that a user is an authorized user. 12. The system of claim 1, further comprising a sensor configured to output a sensor signal, and wherein the processor is configured to determine the haptic effect based in part on the sensor signal. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the sensor comprises a sensor configured to detect one or more of: a radio signal, an infrared signal, a bar code, an electromagnetic signal, or an object. 14. The system of claim 1, further comprising a detector coupled to the tactile element, the detector configured to detect when a user is contacting the tactile element and transmit a second signal to the processor. 15. A method comprising: receiving a fingerprint signal from a fingerprint sensor, wherein the fingerprint sensor is coupled within a substantial planar tactile element;determining whether a user is an authorized user based in part on the fingerprint signal;determining a haptic signal based in part on whether the user is an authorized user; andoutputting the haptic signal to an actuator assembly positioned within a user graspable housing comprising a user contactable region, the actuator assembly configured to receive the haptic signal and output a haptic effect. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the user contactable region comprises one or more of: a handle, a grip, a stylus, or a trigger. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the substantial planar tactile element is coupled to a contact surface that is one or more of: substantially planar, curved, or textured. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the user graspable housing comprises a handheld device. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the handheld device comprises one or more of: a keyless remote, a bar code scanner, a metal detector, a controller, or a cellular telephone. 20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code, which when executed by a processor is configured to cause the processor to: receive a fingerprint signal from a fingerprint sensor, wherein the fingerprint sensor is coupled within a substantial planar tactile element;determine whether a user is an authorized user based in part on the fingerprint signal;determine a haptic signal based in part on whether the user is an authorized user; andoutput the haptic signal to an actuator assembly positioned within a user graspable housing comprising a user contactable region, the actuator assembly configured to receive the haptic signal and output a haptic effect.
