How to put a password for the application on Samsung

Creating an account samsung

To use some applications and functions, you need login to the Samsung account. You can create it directly on your mobile device.

1. Open the "Settings", select "Accounts and Archiving", and then "Accounts".



2. Scroll down the down screen, tapad "Add" and select "Samsung Account".



3. Click "Registration" and accept all the necessary conditions.

   

   If you do not want to create a "account" of Samsung, on the login screen, click "Continue with Google".



4. We provide the required information and click "Create".



5. On the next screen, you specify your phone number, taping "send", and when the code comes, enter it in the field below and click "Confirm". The entrance to the account will automatically happen.

Method 1: SAMSUNG NOTES

We are talking about Samsung's branded software to create notes. Set the password to enter the application can not, but you can block each record separately.

1. Open Samsung Notes, click the icon in the form of a plus and make the necessary records.



2. Open the "Menu" and tapa "Block".

   

   You can close access to the note without opening it. To do this, click on it and hold for two seconds, and then on the panel below, click "Block".

   

   To gain access to recording, you will now have to use biometric data or password to unlock the device.



3. To unlock it later, you can either also go to the "Menu" and select the appropriate item,

   

   Or use the panel on the main screen. In any case, the identity confirmation will be required again.

Method 2: Protected Folder (Security Folder)

This is an encrypted space based on the SAMSUNG KNOX SECURITY platform. Technology does not block access to software, but hides its data, i.e. All you do in a "secure folder" remains in it. For example, if you used the application "Camera" from an encrypted space, then in the overall "gallery" the resulting snapshot or video will not appear.

1. Not all devices are supported function, but if you do not see the folder among other applications, it is possible that it is simply not activated. To check this, in the "settings" open "biometrics and safety" and looking for it there.



2. If the option is in stock, click on it, we accept the terms of use, we enter the Samsung account or use Google "account".



3. When the secret space is created, select the type of unlock it. Alternative ways will be asked to add biometric data. Click "Next". We come up with a password, drawing or PIN and tapam "Continue".

   

   On the next screen, confirm the data entered.



4. The default Security Folder is added standard software.

   

   To replenish the list, tapad "Add app". Next, either load it immediately from the stores, or select from the list of already installed application programs and click "Add".



5. Similar steps when adding files. We click the corresponding button, we find the data in the device's memory and click "Finish".

   

   If the file needs to be hidden, select the "Move" action. Now it will be possible to find it only through the file manager from the "secure folder".



6. Consider how Security Folder works on the example of the "Contacts" application. The fact that it is started from the encrypted space will indicate the icon in the lower right corner of the screen.

   

   Click "Add", fill in contact information and click "Save".

   

   Now this number will be available only in a secure phone book. If you open "Contacts" in normal mode, this entry will not appear.



7. To the "secure folder" did not attract attention, it can be hidden. To do this, go to the "Menu", open the "Settings"

   

   And in the relevant paragraph, we translate the switch to the "Off" position.

   

   To take advantage of the Security Folder again, we find it in the "Biometric and Security" section and after confirmation of the person, we turn on the display.

Method 3: third-party

You can block access to software on Samsung using special applications from Google Play Market. As an example, install AppLock from Domobile Lab and understand how to use it.

Download AppLock from Google Play Market

1. When you first start, invent the drawing for unlocking, and then repeat it.



2. In the "Privacy" tab, you scroll down the screen down to the "General" section, select the application and allow AppLock access.

   

   We find the blocker program in the list and allow it to collect statists.

   

   Now to close access to software, it will be enough to touch it.

   

   To start blocked applications, the unlock key will need.



3. After removing the AppLock, the entire software will be unlocked. In this case, in the "Additional" block, you can close access to "Settings" and Google Play Market.

   

   You can also disguise the label. To do this, in the "Protection" tab, open the "Magic" section, click the "Camouflage" icon and select one of the available shortcuts.



4. In the "Security" section, you can activate the unlock on the fingerprint.

   

   To change the drawing to the password, tap "Unlock Settings", then "Password",

   

   We enter the desired combination and confirm it.

After rebooting the device, AppLock starts automatically, but it does not immediately, so the first minute or two there is an opportunity to unhindered access to the locked software. Of course, you can run it manually and no one canceled the screen lock, which is on each smartphone. But, perhaps, in this regard, other blockers are better working, which we wrote about in a separate article.
