Unlocking with Find My Mobile Feature

Imagine a magical key that can open the gates to your device even when you’re not holding it. That’s the essence of Samsung’s Find My Mobile feature.

1. Open your device’s Settings.
2. Navigate to Biometrics and security.
3. Tap on Find My Mobile.
4. Activate the Remote unlock option by toggling the switch.

Unlocking Remotely using Find My Mobile Site

With the Remote unlock option in place, it’s time to reveal the ultimate move:

1. Grab a computer or another device with an internet connection.
2. Open your preferred web browser and visit https://findmymobile.samsung.com.
3. Click on the “Sign in” button and provide your Samsung account login credentials.
4. Once you’re signed in, you’ll see a list of devices associated with your account. Choose the device you want to unlock.

Smart Lock: Your Digital Guardian Angel

Picture this: your device senses that you’re in a trusted location and decides to unlock itself, saving you from the hassle of inputting your PIN, pattern, or password. That’s the beauty of the Smart Lock feature. But before you embark on this seamless unlocking journey, make sure to:

• Set up a screen lock method on your device.
• Remember that if your device remains untouched for four hours or after a device restart, you’ll need to use your screen lock method to access it.

Enabling Smart Lock for Trusted Locations

1. Open Settings on your device.
2. Navigate to Biometrics and security.
3. Tap on Smart Lock.
4. Enter your screen lock method (PIN, pattern, password).
5. Select Trusted places.
6. Add your frequently visited locations as trusted places.

Now, when you’re in one of your trusted locations, your device will automatically grant you access without the need for manual unlocking.

If none of the above methods worked, you can contact a local phone repair store around area, or a 3rd party company to help with you to unlock your Samsung device.

Don’t let a forgotten PIN, pattern, or password put a damper on your day. Samsung has equipped you with tools to regain control. The Find My Mobile feature and the Smart Lock option are like your trusty sidekicks, ready to rescue you from any locked-out situation. So go ahead, enable these features, and embrace the convenience of unlocking your device effortlessly.
