How to Create a Samsung Account on Your Computer
You can create a Samsung account during the setup process on your phone, but you can also do it online via your computer.
Why Set Up a Samsung Account?
Many smartphone manufacturers encourage you to create user accounts, which often add extra features and services. When you set up a Samsung account, you not only have an easy way to access various Samsung services, but also a fast, simple way to locate, shut off, or even erase your phone if it is ever lost or stolen.
How to Add a Samsung Account on Your Phone
Add a Samsung account to your smartphone from the Add Account section of the main settings.
What Can You Do With Your Samsung Account?
With an active Samsung Account, you can do all of the following and more:
Locate your phone. Erase, lock, and unlock your phone remotely. Use exclusive apps for your phone, such as Samsung Pay, Bixby, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pass (biometrics). Back up your data and photo gallery.
Once you create a Samsung account, enjoy all the Samsung services without having to create or sign in with any additional accounts.
Samsung Account Key Features
Setting up a Samsung account will enable several features for your phone in addition to extra features for compatible TVs, Samsung Gear, computers, and more.
Find My Mobile
This is one of the most useful features of your Samsung account. Find My Mobile lets you register your phone to locate it if it gets misplaced. When tracking your lost phone, remotely lock it, make the phone ring (if you think it is lost but nearby), and even set a number that calls to your lost mobile can be forwarded to.
Samsung Cloud
If you’re someone who takes a million photos and never remembers to download them to your computer, don’t stress. Samsung Cloud automatically backs things up every so often. Set your device up to sync:

Samsung Health
Samsung Health works as your hub for all things health. In addition to helping you keep track of workouts and water intake, it can also sync with running apps to put all the information you want in a single place. There’s a lot going on in this app, but the aim is to put you in control of your health.
PENUP
Samsung’s PENUP app is really a social network for artists who like to share their work with others. Use your S-Pen to draw amazing works of art right on your phone.
