Welcome to State of Tech, let's take a look at how to use the fingerprint reader so
I'm going to swipe down on the screen and tap in my settings and then come
down to lock screen and security now we did a whole video on how to choose your
screen lock type but in this one what we're going to do is we're gonna focus
on the fingerprint reader itself so down below you see there in the biometric
section there's the fingerprint scanner and if we tap on that we're gonna be
able to add in our fingerprint now this is gonna prompt us to also choose a
secure lock screen such as a pin pattern or password and then we can add in at
least one fingerprint so tap continue here you'll want to choose either a
pattern pin or password for this example I'm just going to go with the pattern
I'm gonna draw in my pattern and then continue and then confirm that pattern
to add the screen lock type just now tap confirm and then it's gonna ask me to
register in my fingerprint by swiping down now this is very different from
previous iterations of this because you would have to tap and hold on the
fingerprint scanner but in C in this example we're taking our finger and
we're just swiping down on the fingerprint scanner kind of rolling our
finger over it and I would recommend doing this with both hands so register
your index fingers at least you can also register whatever other fingers you want
to you but your more common ones are gonna be the index fingers so I'm doing
this taking my finger and swiping down over the fingerprint reader and I didn't
get it fully the first time so I had to kind of do it twice so just kind of play
around with that and make sure you get it done so that's my right index finger
now what I can do is either tap Done and that's gonna save just that one
fingerprint or I can tap add and I'm actually gonna hold the phone in my left
hand and then swipe the fingerprint reader in the same way so here I am
adding in my left index finger and I've got that done I can choose to add in
another one you can have a total of four fingerprints add it in here so I'm gonna
go and just leave it with these two tap done and now I'm gonna go ahead and try
it out so all I have to do is tap my finger on the reader and if it turns
green it's going to tell me that my fingerprint is recognized and now I can
actually use it so the next step is gonna be customizing our notifications
on the lock screen so I can choose to hide my content I can choose to have the
icons only I can adjust the transparency I can even choose to turn this off if I
want to so I have no no vacations on my lock screen but this is
part of the options with lock screen because the fingerprint reader is gonna
be a added security of getting into our device so now that I've done that I can
tap Done and now you can see both my fingerprints are here I can choose my
fingerprint verification for Samsung Pass and Samsung pay I can even choose
to unlock it with my device now it's also cool as we can tap Edit to manage
our fingerprints so I have fingerprint 1 and fingerprint 2 I can choose both of
them and just delete them or I can choose one of my fingerprints and even
rename it what's nice is out here on the main screen if I tap and hold on the
fingerprint reader this is my right index finger and you see fingerprint 1
is my right index so now what I can do is tap Edit
tap on fingerprint one in tap rename I'm gonna go and choose and rename this to
write index this is something that I just like to do myself you don't really
have to do it you don't have to rename them at all it's something that I do
just so I know and I can confirm that by tapping on the fingerprint reader now
it's also nice at Samsung past so here I can choose to verify and actually unlock
Samsung pass with my fingerprint reader I'm gonna need to confirm my password to
get into my account and then I can use my fingerprint reader to actually unlock
my Samsung Account the same thing does go whenever we come back into the
fingerprint portion for Samsung paying and then we can choose to unlock our
phone with our fingerprint well it's also nice is that Android has an option
that if any sort of application requires a password and they would like to
integrate it with the fingerprint reader you can actually have some apps unlock
with the fingerprint reader I know in my example here if I come into my apps one
password is a perfect example of this once you've actually logged in with your
one password account you can choose to use the fingerprint reader or any of the
other biometrics actually unlock the application without having to entering
your master password I know that even some banking apps use that as well like
Chase and Bank of America they tend to use these fingerprint readers as well to
get into their apps and login so that is how you use the fingerprint scanner on
your Samsung Galaxy S 9 if you found this video useful be sure and give it a
