As mentioned by the Carisinyal team earlier, Samsung Pass is a password manager application designed to make it easier to store login data, including passwords and usernames.

In addition, this application also allows you to securely store credit/debit card information, home address, and other confidential personal data. Don't worry about data leakage as Samsung Pass comes with extra protection from the Samsung Knox security platform.

Before you can enter your personal data into Samsung Pass, you will go through a series of verifications, ensuring that your data remains secure and can only be accessed by authorized individuals.

How to use Samsung Pass

The Carisinyal team provides a step-by-step guide to using Samsung Pass, which is usually pre-installed on the latest Samsung phones. Follow the instructions below:

One of the password manager apps worth trying is Bitwarden Password Manager. It offers a simple user interface, making it very user-friendly. With this app, you can easily store login information for your email, social media accounts, and other websites.

To get started, sign in or create an account on Bitwarden using your active email. Once you have registered or logged in, click on the "+" icon or "Add item" button.

Next, select the type of information/data you want to store on Bitwarden. Select "login" to add password information for social media, email accounts, and other logins. If you want to store other information such as credit/debit cards, you can do so as well.

Once you have entered all the required data, simply press the "Save" button to securely store the information.

For extra security, consider enabling 2-step authentication for each login entry. Also, utilize the password generator feature to find the strongest and most secure password for your account.

Bitwarden offers the convenience of an auto-fill password feature, so you don't have to manually enter your username and password every time you log in.

For increased privacy, you can add a PIN or password to the Bitwarden app. The best part is that Bitwarden is available for free and contains no ads.

2. Dashlane Password Manager

Another reliable option is Dashlane Password Manager. This app allows you to securely store login passwords for various accounts, including social media platforms like Instagram. In addition, you can easily add card information to this password manager app.

How to use Dashlane is very easy. Just tap the "+" button on the app's main page and select the type of information you want to add, such as login information or other data. Then, select the specific account you want to save the password for, such as an Instagram account.

Even better, Dashlane Password Manager offers the convenience of importing login data from computers, PCs, and laptops. Also, Dashlane provides valuable dark web monitoring features, ensuring that your personal data remains protected from hackers lurking on the dark web.

Unfortunately, some of Dashlane's top features, including dark web monitoring, are part of the premium plan. However, you can try these features for free during the trial period. If you are interested in subscribing to the premium package, the monthly rate is around Rp24.000.

That's the explanation of the Carisinyal team on how to use Samsung Pass on Samsung phones. Remember, Samsung Pass is the recommended password manager app for your Samsung device.

The password manager app that we recommend above serves as an alternative to Samsung Pass. Although claimed to be safe, the Carisinyal team still recommends being careful when using applications other than Samsung Pass.
