Finger Scanner
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.
Note
: 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.
