Flexible Security

Face Recognition

Use face recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in certain apps.

You can set the device to use Face Recognition, to unlock the screen by recognizing your face.

• Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN or Password. Your device could be unlocked by someone or something that looks like your image.

• Some conditions may affect face recognition, including wearing glasses, hats, beards, or heavy make-up.

• When registering your face, ensure that you are in a well-lit area and the camera lens is clean.

But in rare cases, the sensor may recognize a fingerprint that is similar to a registered fingerprint.

Iris Scanner

Use iris recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in certain apps. You can also use your irises to verify your identity when logging in to your Samsung account.

Warning: Some people may have dizziness, seizures, epileptic seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, even if they have never had a seizure or blackout before. Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should see a doctor before using the Iris Scanner

DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition LED as prolonged use can cause eye strain. Do not stare at the iris recognition LED light when your eyes are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away from the device, for best results keep your eyes between 25‑35 cm (~10 14 inches) away for optimum recognition.

Note: The Iris Scanner is not intended to be used as a medical device and the biometric data collected and stored locally by the mechanism is not intended to be used for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this feature.

For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses. Do not use the Iris Scanner in bright sunlight or areas with excessive reflected light (for example, by the pool or seashore). Do not use the Iris Scanner in low light. Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways), and hold your head still for the scan. Tinted contact lenses and surgically repaired or replaced iris lenses may interfere with operation of the Iris Scanner. Do not walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris Scanner.
