The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and device for verifying a fingerprint, and belong to the field of computer technology. The method includes: N pressing operations successively performed by a finger of a user within an area for acquiring the fingerprint are acquired (101); a sequence of fingerprints to be verified is generated according to fingerprints and pressing intensities of the N pressing operations (102); the sequence of fingerprints to be verified is compared with a reference sequence of fingerprints (103); and when the sequence of fingerprints to be verified is the same as the reference sequence of fingerprints, it is determined that the fingerprint of the user is successfully verified (104).
