com.samsung.android.samsungpass Copy

Samsung Pass, made by Samsung. Samsung describes it as a biometric authentication service that lets you sign in to services with a fingerprint or iris scan, and use it to store and manage personal details such as IDs, passwords and addresses for websites and apps. In practice it is a credential vault sitting behind the device biometrics, reached from Settings under Biometrics and security, or from the menu inside Samsung Wallet. In our sample it is signed by Samsung's platform key. Version note: this package is mid-transition. Samsung has been folding Samsung Pass into Samsung Wallet, and Samsung's own Wallet documentation now presents Samsung Pass as a feature reached through Wallet rather than as a separate destination; reporting from March 2025 describes users being prompted to migrate, after which the standalone Samsung Pass icon is removed. The package is still present on devices in our sample, so treat the presence of the package and the presence of a user-visible Samsung Pass app as separate questions on any given fleet. For Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk use it plays no part in enrolment or in applying policy, so it is not something management depends on. The point worth considering is what it holds: if users sign in to corporate services on the device, their credentials may be saved into this vault. We could not source a dedicated Knox Service Plugin restriction aimed specifically at Samsung Pass, so if you need to prevent its use, plan on testing whatever combination of app disabling and autofill controls your EMM offers rather than assuming a single switch exists. Disabling the package may disrupt access to whatever users have already saved, and behaviour on Wallet-era builds could differ from earlier ones; we could not source the package-level outcome, so test it on a device before applying it to a fleet, and treat it with the same care as any other password manager.
