How to setup and use the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S 5

[Guest Robert Nazarian]

 

Tired of tapping a PIN or Pattern to unlock your phone? Well, Samsung introduced a fingerprint scanner (or as they call it, the finger scanner) on the Galaxy S 5, which you might find to be a little easier.

 

Surprisingly it works pretty well. It’s just a matter of learning exactly how your finger needs to be placed on the display. The only real negative is that you have to slide your finger, as in it’s not a simple touch like the iPhone 5S. So you might find that unlocking your phone with one hand is a little cumbersome.

 

 

Setting things up is really easy. You just need to teach the Galaxy S 5 your fingerprint by swiping eight times. You can even store up to three fingers, so you can easily add your spouse, for example.

 

Check out the video below to see how easy it is to setup and use as your new way to safely secure your Galaxy S 5. Also, be sure to check out all our Galaxy S 5 guides.
