If you’re an Android user, you probably know that autofill can be a lifesaver when it comes to signing into apps. However, if you’re using a Samsung phone, you may find that it defaults to Samsung Pass, which can be inconvenient if you prefer to use Google or another autofill service. Fortunately, changing the autofill service on your Samsung phone is quick and easy.
To get started, navigate to your phone’s settings and search for “autofill.” Tap on “Autofill service” and you’ll see that it’s currently set to Samsung Pass. If you prefer to use Google or another autofill service, simply select it from the list and your phone will default to that service when you sign into apps.
The reason many people prefer to use Google for autofill is that it allows you to sign into all of your apps using your Google credentials. This can be a huge timesaver, as you won’t have to remember multiple passwords or reset them if you forget them. Additionally, some people may not trust Samsung with their passwords, as they are primarily a smartphone manufacturer and not a data company.
Once you’ve changed your autofill service, you should be able to use your preferred service seamlessly. You may need to force close and reopen apps to get them to recognize the change, but once you’ve done that, you’ll be good to go.
If you’ve been having trouble with autofill on your Samsung phone, this tip could be a game-changer for you. And if you didn’t know about this feature before, now you do! Give it a try and see if it makes your app sign-ins easier and more convenient.
