Fingerprint 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.

To use your fingerprint to unlock your device, you must

set a pattern, PIN, or password. You can register up to

three fingerprints.

1. From a Home screen, swipe up to access Apps.

2. Tap Settings > Lock screen and security >
