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.
Register a Fingerprint
You can register up to 3 fingerprints. A password will also set up as an alternative to your fingerprint.
1. From home, tap Apps > Settings.
2. Tap Finger Scanner > Fingerprint manager.
To add a fingerprint, tap Add and follow the instructions to register a fingerprint and
password.
To rename a fingerprint, touch and hold the fingerprint, and then touch Edit.
To delete a fingerprint, touch and hold the fingerprint, and then touch Delete.
Set or Change Your Backup Password
1. From home, tap Apps > Settings.
2. Tap Finger Scanner > Change backup password.
