How to use Samsung account

You can sign up for a Samsung account using any Samsung mobile device or from the Samsung website.

Sign up from a Samsung mobile device

It is recommended to set up Samsung account in the setup wizard.

A Samsung Account allows you to backup and restore data.

Two-Step Verification adds another layer of security to your Samsung account.

To log in, you'll need your password plus a verification code from a text message sent to your phone, from an authenticator app, or from a set of backup codes. Even if someone gets your password, they won't be able to log in because they won't have your verification codes.

It's easier than you think for someone to steal your password. One bad app downloaded from the Internet, or a malicious link clicked, and someone could:

• Access your call and text message history
• View any images you have synced to the cloud
• Access any of your linked accounts

Two-step verification keeps people who want your data out of your account, even if they have your password.

To improve security and privacy, and to protect your personal information, two-step verification cannot be disabled.

To keep your information secure, remember to update your password frequently in addition to using two-step verification, and don't use the same ID and password you use for other services.
