Fingerprints
Use fingerprint recognition as an alternative to
entering passwords in certain apps.
You can also use your fingerprint to verify your
identity when logging in to your Samsung account.
Important: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique
characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the
security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint
sensor confusing even small areas of two different
fingerprints is very low. But, in rare cases the
sensor may recognize a fingerprint that is similar
to a registered fingerprint.
