Certain embodiments provide a biometric recognition apparatus and a method for lowering false recognition rate of biometric information in an electronic device adopting biometric recognition technology. In doing so, the electronic device may store first feature values extracted at M-ary feature points from owner biometric information, and additionally store auxiliary biometric information from a biometric information stored in one or more memories or an external server. The electronic device may perform biometric recognition on input biometric information using the first feature values and second feature values extracted from the biometric information additionally stored.
