Method for performing authentication using biometrics information and portable electronic device supporting the same

A portable electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• a short-range communication processor coupled to the memory and configured to receive a signal and biometrics information from a peripheral electronic device;
• and
• a control processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• identify a peripheral electronic device located within a certain distance from the portable electronic device,
• pair the portable electronic device with the peripheral electronic device using a short-range communication protocol, and
• in response to the pairing of the portable electronic device, the control processor is further configured to:
• receive the biometrics information and a code for connecting a communication with the peripheral electronic device from the peripheral electronic device,
• identify whether the received biometrics information is identical to the biometrics information stored in the portable electronic device,
• confirm the code when the received biometrics information is identical to the biometrics information stored in the portable electronic device,
• release a security set to the portable electronic device in response to the identification that the biometrics information received from the identified peripheral electronic device is identical to the biometrics information stored in the portable electronic device and the successful verification of the code, and
• allow access to the portable device based on the security set.
