Biometrics and security Change the settings for securing the device. On the Settings screen, tap Biometrics and security. • Fingerprint Scanner: Register your fingerprint to the device to secure the device or sign in to your Samsung account. Refer to Fingerprint recognition for more information. This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider. • Screen transition effect: Set the device to show a transition effect when you unlock the screen using your biometric data. • Google Play Protect: Set the device to check for harmful apps and behaviour and warn about potential harm and remove them. • Find My Mobile: Activate or deactivate the Find My Mobile feature. Access the Find My Mobile website (findmymobile.samsung.com) to track and control your lost or stolen device. You can also allow the Google location service to provide more accurate information about the location of your device. • Security update: View the version of your device’s security system and check for updates. • Install unknown apps: Set the device to allow the installation of apps from unknown sources. • Samsung Pass: Verify your identity easily and securely via your biometric data. Refer to Samsung Pass for more information. • Secure Folder: Create a secure folder to protect your private content and apps from others. Refer to Secure Folder for more information. • App permission monitor: Set to receive notifications when the permissions you select are used by apps that you are not using. You can manage the settings of each app and view their permission usage history. • Secure startup: Protect your device by setting it to require a screen unlock code when turning on the device. You must enter the unlock code to start the device and receive messages and notifications. • Encrypt SD card: Set the device to encrypt files on a memory card. If you reset your device to the factory defaults with this setting enabled, the device will not be able to read your encrypted files. Disable this setting before resetting the device. • Other security settings: Configure additional security settings. 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: • Samsung Pass (Samsung account verification and web sign-in) • Samsung Pay • Screen lock • Secure Folder • This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider. • Fingerprint 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. • If 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. • If 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: • The 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. • Covering 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. • Ensure that the fingerprint recognition area and your fingers are clean and dry. • The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars. • The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers. • If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints. Make sure to cover the entire Home key with your finger. • To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to perform tasks on the device. • In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the device. Avoid using this feature in dry environments or before using the feature, discharge static electricity by touching a metal object. Registering fingerprints   On the Settings screen, tap Biometrics and security → Fingerprint Scanner.   Unlock the screen using the preset screen lock method. If you have not set a screen lock method, create one.   Place your finger on the Home key.   After the device detects your finger, lift it up and place it on the Home key again.
