An electronic device (101, 401) comprising: a touchscreen display (530, 540); a pressure sensor configured to sense pressure applied to the touchscreen display (530, 540) by a user's finger; a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint of the user's finger; at least one processor electrically coupled to the touchscreen display (530, 540), the pressure sensor, and the fingerprint sensor; and a memory electrically coupled to the at least one processor and positioned to store at least one registered fingerprint, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: sense the pressure which is applied to the touchscreen display (530, 540) by the user's finger at a position on the touchscreen display (530, 540) corresponding to a position to which an object associated with a specified application is output, using the pressure sensor; activate the fingerprint sensor when the sensed pressure is equal to or greater than a designated value; detect the fingerprint of the user's finger using the fingerprint sensor; compare the detected fingerprint with the at least one registered fingerprint; withdraw a security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is matched with a registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint; and maintain the security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is not matched with any registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint. a touchscreen display (530, 540); a pressure sensor configured to sense pressure applied to the touchscreen display (530, 540) by a user's finger; a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint of the user's finger; at least one processor electrically coupled to the touchscreen display (530, 540), the pressure sensor, and the fingerprint sensor; and a memory electrically coupled to the at least one processor and positioned to store at least one registered fingerprint, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: sense the pressure which is applied to the touchscreen display (530, 540) by the user's finger at a position on the touchscreen display (530, 540) corresponding to a position to which an object associated with a specified application is output, using the pressure sensor; activate the fingerprint sensor when the sensed pressure is equal to or greater than a designated value; detect the fingerprint of the user's finger using the fingerprint sensor; compare the detected fingerprint with the at least one registered fingerprint; withdraw a security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is matched with a registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint; and maintain the security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is not matched with any registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint. sense the pressure which is applied to the touchscreen display (530, 540) by the user's finger at a position on the touchscreen display (530, 540) corresponding to a position to which an object associated with a specified application is output, using the pressure sensor; activate the fingerprint sensor when the sensed pressure is equal to or greater than a designated value; detect the fingerprint of the user's finger using the fingerprint sensor; compare the detected fingerprint with the at least one registered fingerprint; withdraw a security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is matched with a registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint; and maintain the security policy set by the specified application when the detected fingerprint is not matched with any registered fingerprint of the at least one registered fingerprint.
