Abstract

Provided are a method and device for residing a short message verification code. This method includes: conducting keyword matching on a short message content using a regular expression; when the short message content contains a keyword, matching a verification code for the short message content using the regular expression, to acquire a matched verification code; and displaying the verification code on a current interface and displaying a pre-set time. This method can automatically extract a verification code in a short message and display a pre-set time on a current interface. Within this pre-set time, a user can fill in a verification code on a verification code interface according to the displayed verification code without the need for the user to remember the verification code and to frequently switch between a short message application and a current application as well.
