Frequently asked questions about signing into Samsung account after Galaxy One UI 6.1 update
If you updated your software to One UI 6.1 without signing in to your Samsung account, you will be prompted to sign into your Samsung account in order to use certain Advanced intelligence (AI) features. If you have a Samsung account, enter your ID and password and set up two-step verification to sign in.
