1. An electronic device, the device comprising:
- a flexible display;
a first sensor configured to detect bending of the electronic device;
a second sensor configured to detect biometric information of a user; and
a processor configured to determine that the bending corresponds to unfolding of the electronic device, authenticate the user based on the biometric information while the electronic device is unfolding, and control the electronic device to provide an unlocked screen on the flexible display in response to authenticating the user when the electronic device is unfolded.
