Use Samsung Pass

Note
Samsung Pass only works with Samsung Internet and other supported apps.

Now you can start using Samsung Pass to sign in to websites and apps.

 

Open the Samsung Internet app and navigate to your favorite website where you will need to sign into your account. After signing into your account, Samsung Pass will ask if you want to save the account information. Tap Remember. The next time you sign into the website, all you have to do is scan your biometrics instead of filling in the account information.
