A fingerprint recognition method and device, relating to the field of fingerprint recognition. The fingerprint recognition method comprises: detecting whether the number of corrupted pixel units in a fingerprint recognition sensor reaches a predetermined threshold (201), wherein the corrupted pixel units are physically corrupted pixel units in the fingerprint recognition sensor; and if the number of corrupted pixel units reaches the predetermined threshold, abandoning matching and recognition of a fingerprint image acquired by the fingerprint recognition sensor (202).
