1. An authentication method for authenticating users, comprising:
- storing first fingerprint information of the users, wherein the first fingerprint information includes fingerprint information of at least one finger of each of the users;
storing login information of each of the users;
setting a priority for each of the users based on the login information when second fingerprint information is input by the users to login; and
authenticating the users by comparing the first fingerprint information and the second fingerprint information, wherein the authenticating includes authenticating the users in order based on the priority, from a user having a highest priority.

Abstract
When fingerprint information is input by users to login from the fingerprint sensor, an authentication priority is set for each of the users based on login information of each of the users. The login information is stored in a login information table. Authentication of the users are carried out by comparing the fingerprint information input and fingerprint information of each finger of the users that are registered in a fingerprint information table in order based on the authentication priority from a user that has a highest ranking.
