Method and apparatus for verifying personal identification number pin code

A terminal device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory memory configured to store processor-executable instructions, wherein when executing the processor-executable instructions, the one or more processors are configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first operation of a user, wherein the first operation instructs the terminal device to enable a function of automatically verifying a personal identification number (PIN) code of a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card;
• after the receiving the first operation and based on that no lock screen password is set for the terminal device:
• displaying a first prompt for the user to enter a lock screen password,
• receiving the lock screen password entered by the user,
• displaying a second prompt for the user to enter a first PIN code, the second prompt being different from the first prompt, and
• receiving the first PIN code entered by the user;
• storing the first PIN code to complete enabling the function of automatically verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card, wherein when the function of automatically verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card is enabled and the first PIN code is stored, the terminal device uses the first PIN code to automatically verify the first SIM card;
• and
• after the storing, verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card using the first PIN code without the user inputting the PIN code when the first SIM card is inserted into the terminal device and the terminal device is in a powered-on state, or when the terminal device into which the first SIM card is inserted is powered on.

A non-transitory memory, comprising instructions, wherein when the instructions are run on a terminal device, the terminal device is enabled to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first operation of a user, wherein the first operation instructs the terminal device to enable a function of automatically verifying a personal identification number (PIN) code of a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card;
• after the receiving the first operation and based on that no lock screen password is set for the terminal device:
• displaying a first prompt for the user to enter a lock screen password,
• receiving the lock screen password entered by the user,
• displaying a second prompt for the user to enter a first PIN code, the second prompt being different from the first prompt, and
• receiving the first PIN code entered by the user;
• storing the first PIN code to complete enabling the function of automatically verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card, wherein when the function of automatically verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card is enabled and the first PIN code is stored, the terminal device uses the first PIN code to automatically verify the first SIM card;
• and
• after the storing, verifying the PIN code of the first SIM card using the first PIN code without the user inputting the PIN code when the first SIM card is inserted into the terminal device and the terminal device is powered on or when the terminal device into which the first SIM card is inserted is powered on.
