Iris recognition
The iris recognition feature uses the unique characteristics of your irises, such as their shape
and pattern, to strengthen the security of your device. Your iris data can be used for various
authentication purposes. After registering your irises, you can set the device to use your irises
for the following features:
•
Samsung Pass (Samsung account verification and web sign-in)
•
Screen lock
•
Secure Folder
•
This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider.
•
If you use your iris as a screen lock method, your irises cannot be used to unlock
the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the device, you must
unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the
irises. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
•
If your irises are not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN, or
password you set when registering the irises, and then re-register your irises. 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.
•
If you change the screen lock method to
Swipe
or
None
, which are not secure, all
of your biometric data will be deleted. If you want to use your biometric data in
apps or features, you must register your biometric data again.
