Samsung has started reminding users about the migration of its Samsung Pass service to Samsung Wallet. This merger began a long time back, but not everyone might be aware of it. The company is now reminding them with fresh notifications. Several users have confirmed receiving notifications through email (including us) that mention the migration news for customers using Samsung Pass.
In case you do not remember, Samsung began the merging process nearly three years ago to remove duplicate apps with similar functions and clean up their app ecosystem. The Korean firm is combining Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass services into one single app โ Samsung Wallet.
Samsung Pass users are notified about upcoming changes
As per the official notification, the Samsung Pass service will be provided via Samsung Wallet. The autofill services from Pass can now be used from Quick Access in the Wallet app. After switching to Samsung Wallet, the Samsung Pass app icon will be removed, but all the data in your Samsung Pass will be available in the Samsung Wallet. However, you can add a Samsung Pass entry point through the โShortcutโ feature available in Samsung Wallet.
With the Samsung Wallet app, you can add and access payment cards, gift cards, membership cards, health passes, digital assets, digital keys, and boarding passes. Since Samsung Pass is used for password management, the Wallet app will now take over this feature as well.
Samsung Pass is a service that stores login info and passwords. To set up the Samsung pass, first open the Samsung Wallet app. Now enable the Autofill feature (Youโll find it in the Menu tab). Open the required app or website and then sign in to the website as usual, as youโd normally do. You will get a popup from Samsung Pass asking if you want to save your login info. Tap Save, and the app will automatically fill in the information after you verify it with your fingerprint the next time you log in.
