The embodiment of the invention discloses a verification method and a mobile terminal.The verification method comprises the steps that a pressure value acting on a touch area is obtained; a pressure threshold value and position information of a first encryption function are determined, and the position information of the first encryption function is used for representing the position of the first encryption function in an encryption function database; if a pressure value is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold value, the first encryption function is determined and obtained from the encryption function database according to the position information, and a first verification code is calculated according to the pressure threshold value and the first encryption function; the first verification code is sent to a server, and the server utilizes a second verification code to conduct verification treatment on the first verification code, wherein the second verification code is calculated by the server according to a second encryption function and the pressure threshold value, and the first encryption function and the second encryption function are the same encryption functions; a verification sent by the server result, of the first verification code is received.The technical problem that the mode that a user manually inputs a verification code is complicated in operation in the prior art is solved.
