An authentication window display method, wherein the method is performed by a terminal including a display screen, and comprises: after an authentication request sent by a third-party application is detected, obtaining (101, 901) authentication information from the third-party application, wherein the authentication information comprises an authentication mode and first prompt information; determining (102, 902) a display location of a first authentication window based on a location of an authentication component corresponding to the authentication mode and the authentication mode, wherein the authentication component is configured to collect biological information of a user; and displaying (103, 903) the first authentication window at the display location, wherein the first authentication window comprises the first prompt information; wherein the determining (102, 902) a display location of a first authentication window based on a location of an authentication component corresponding to the authentication mode and the authentication mode comprises: determining (102, 902) the display location of the first authentication window based on the authentication mode and a preset correspondence, where the correspondence includes a relationship between the location of the authentication component corresponding to the authentication mode and the display location of the first authentication window, the authentication mode includes a fingerprint authentication mode; wherein the method further comprises: detecting whether a second authentication window popped up by the third-party application is displayed on the display screen; and if the second authentication window popped up by the third-party application is displayed on the display screen, adjusting the display location and/or a size of the first authentication window, so that the adjusted first authentication window blocks the second authentication window. after an authentication request sent by a third-party application is detected, obtaining (101, 901) authentication information from the third-party application, wherein the authentication information comprises an authentication mode and first prompt information;
