Provided are methods and apparatuses for establishing a wireless communications connection by using biometric information of a user. A method of operating an electronic device includes operations of: acquiring first biometric information; transmitting first sub-information of the first biometric information to a terminal within a certain time from an instant of acquiring the first biometric information; receiving from the terminal second sub-information of second biometric information of a user who uses the terminal; and comparing second sub-information of the first biometric information corresponding to the second sub-information of the second biometric information with the second sub-information of the second biometric information. If it is determined as a result of the comparing that the second sub-information of the first biometric information matches the second sub-information of the second biometric information, a pairing with the terminal is established through a wireless network.
