We care deeply about your privacy. So we put in place effective mechanisms that prevent unwanted snooping, while making it surprisingly convenient for you. There's iris scanning for airtight security, face recognition for unlocking your phone right away, and defense-grade security that stands guard around the clock.

Iris scan

The patterns in your irises are unique to you and are virtually impossible to replicate, meaning iris authentication is one of the safest ways to keep your phone locked and the contents private.

Face Recognition

Open with your face

Raise your phone as if taking a selfie to use face recognition. It's a fast and effortless way to unlock your Galaxy S8 or S8+.

*Face recognition is less secure than pattern, PIN, or password.

Fingerprint Scanner

Open with a touch

As you pick up your Galaxy S8 or S8+, your finger goes naturally to the fingerprint sensor on the back and it's unlocked in one seamless move. You don't even have to wake up the phone first.

Convenientand safe

Some of the most sensitive activities like paying with your credit or debit card and accessing bank accounts is fast, easy, and secure on your Galaxy S8 or S8+ with its selection of authentication options, including biometric verification. Scan your irises or fingerprint to make purchases with Samsung Pay in-store, check your bank accounts via Samsung Pass, and log into your favorite sites right away with the Web sign-in feature. Keep private files and apps separately in the Secure Folder to keep them accessible only to you. See More
