Samsung has recently launched Galaxy Note 5, it comes powered by a Exynos 7420 processor, clocking at 2.3GHz. Overall the specs of the device are pretty great, moreover it comes with Fingerprint option. This option helps you in securing your device with your fingerprint scans. You can add up to four fingerprints on this device that will be protected by an additional password. This password can be used if the fingerprint scanner stops working. Here are the following steps to setting up the service on your Galaxy Note 5.

  • Step 1: Launch the Settings App.

  • Step 3: Now in the security list, click on the Fingerprints option.
  • Step 4: In the new list opened, you have to tap on Add Fingerprint.
  • Step 5: Now follow the on screen instructions i.e. place finger on Home key, Lift it off, and then repeat. Move finger upward/downward slightly between attempts.
  • Step 6: Place your finger on the home key, the fingerprint sensor would scan them, and then phone will vibrate in intervals as it stores the fingerprint. To make this procedure complete quickly you have to lift the finger off and place it back again.
  • Step 7: Repeat the process until your fingerprint is scanned completely. Once the scanning is done, Success message is displayed on the screen.
  • Step 8: After scanning the finger, you will be asked to create a backup password. The password must contain at least six characters, including at least one letter and one number.
