Hi everyone, here we've got Samsung Galaxy A42 and let me show you how to add a fingerprint
0:11
to this device. So first of all let's open the settings and here we have to find biometrics and security
0:18
On the second position we've got fingerprints option so let's tap on it. And now your device is telling you that the fingerprint is a quick and easy way to unlock
0:26
your device but be aware that if you are using the screen protector then it may affect the
0:32
fingerprint sensor so remember about that and tap on continue. Here we have to set an additional screen lock so no worries if you have one currently set
0:41
then you will be just transferred to another step. If not you have to do it right now and as you can see we can choose from the pattern
0:48
pin or password and the only thing you have to remember about it is actually to remember
0:55
the screen lock because if not, if you will forget it then in order to unlock your device
1:00
you will have to erase all the data, all the content stored on your Samsung
1:05
So remember about the screen lock so simply tap on the option you want to use
1:10
I think I will pick the pattern so let me do it. Now let me draw the pattern, redraw it and confirm
1:19
Now we have to start scanning our finger and we have to do it by putting our finger on
1:24
the sensor which is located right here so let me do it, let me put my finger and now
1:30
I have to do it multiple times in order to add my fingerprint fully
1:40
Ok and as you can see we just added our fingerprint. If you want to you can add another, if not tap on none
1:46
I don't want to back up my pattern and as you can see here we've got some fingerprint settings
1:51
So this is the fingerprint we just added, we can tap on it, as you can see we can rename
1:55
it so let me do it. We can also remove it if you want, as you can see here we've got the option but let
2:01
me get back. If you want to add the fingerprint, add another fingerprint just tap here
2:07
Here you can check added fingerprints so if you added for example 3 or 4 fingerprints
2:12
you can tap here, you've got the sensor so you have to put the finger you want to check
2:17
and your device is telling you which fingerprint it is. As you can see here we've got the thumb
2:23
Ok and under it we've got some options to customize. First of all we can decide if we want to use the fingerprint for unlocking the device and
2:29
this is the very first option. Now I accidentally turned it off so let me turn it on by tapping on the switcher and
2:37
under it we've got the show icon when screen is off option so you will have to tap on the
2:43
screen when it's off to show the fingerprint scanner icon and we can also show animation
2:48
when unlocking and if you'd like to turn it off for example just tap on the switcher right
2:54
here but I will leave it like this. So actually this is whole customization of the fingerprint so now let me lock this device
3:03
and check if it is working. So let's lock it. I cannot see the sensor, as you can see right now it appears after tapping on the screen
3:13
Now let me put my finger on it and as you can see this device is unblocked so it means
3:18
that we successfully added our fingerprint to it. What's more we can lock our device and after tapping on the power button again we can swipe
3:26
and as you can see here we've got also the fingerprint sensor but we can also unlock
3:31
it using the pattern we just set. So actually that's all. This is how to add a fingerprint to your Samsung Galaxy A42
