Samsung made a very important decision that requires a last-minute change for all its phones worldwide, but not necessarily for all those who use them in everyday life. From now on, anyone who wants to use the Samsung Account application of the Samsung company, and has the latest version, must use the 2-step authentication system to access their account, this being the change imposed by the Koreans.
Samsung imposes this very important change after last month a security problem led to the disclosure of the personal data of 150 customers, including phone numbers, addresses, etc. Because the problem is a serious one, Samsung has decided not to play with the security of its customers, so it requires that everyone have the 2-step authentication system mandatorily activated for its application, if they want to access their account.
Samsung: IMPORTANT Change Imposed on All Phones
Samsung they don't log people out of their accounts to force them to activate this additional security system, although it wouldn't have been such a bad idea if they did that too. Instead, Samsung will require people to use the new method after the next activation, a phone number being necessary for the system to work, until now it was offered as an optional one for those who used the Samsung Account application on their phones.
Samsung imposes this change on all its phones, but not all users are affected, and that's because not everyone uses this application of the Korean company. Those who do not need the Samsung Account application will not be affected in any way, until they need it, so if you do not use it in Romania, then for now you will not have any changes for phones, and this is because the change is not imposed elsewhere.
Samsung takes a rather strict measure for the phones used by its clients, but it is also a very good one, because security is extremely important for all clients.
