Fingerprint recognition

In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be
registered and stored in your device. After registering, you can set the device to use your
fingerprint for the features below:
• S creen lock
• W eb sign-in
• V erify Samsung account
• S ecure Folder
• T his feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider.
• F ingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical.
• I f you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen when turning on the device. To use the device, you must
unlock the screen using a pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the
fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
• I f your fingerprint is not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN,
or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your
fingerprints. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to
use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or
inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes.
For better fingerprint recognition
When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the feature's performance:
• T he Home key contains a fingerprint recognition sensor. Ensure that the Home key is not
scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces.
• C overing the fingerprint recognition area with protective films, stickers, or other
accessories may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. If the fingerprint recognition
area is initially covered with a protective film, remove it before using the fingerprint
recognition sensor.
