Hi there,
I bought a Galaxy A12, I'm really disappointed to find out the Secure folder, neither the app Samsung pass, are available.
Before buying the A12, I've read all the specs, I double-checked if Knox was supported, and it is, but I didn't find anywhere that these features are missing.
The technical support through the Samsung Member app, confirmed these features are missing.
At this point, I have to tell you that is unacceptable to not make clear to the consumers that the Secure Folder, and Samsung Pass are not present in all smartphones.
Samsung should put a list of smartphones with these features on the pages:

This is very frustrating. Does anyone know if this feature will be implemented in a future update? Thank you.

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a range of features, including Samsung Pass and Secure Folder, which enhance the device's security and privacy capabilities.
Samsung Pass is a convenient and secure way to authenticate your identity and access various apps and services on your Galaxy A12. Instead of relying on multiple passwords and login information, Samsung Pass utilizes biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint recognition or facial recognition to provide a seamless and secure user experience. With Samsung Pass, you can securely log in to supported apps and websites with just a touch or a glance, eliminating the hassle of remembering multiple passwords.
Secure Folder is another valuable security feature available on the Galaxy A12. It enables you to create a private and encrypted space on your device, where you can store sensitive files, documents, photos, and apps. The Secure Folder is protected by a separate authentication method, such as a PIN, password, pattern, or biometric credentials, providing an additional layer of security and privacy. It ensures that your personal data remains hidden and secure, even if someone gains unauthorized access to your device.
The combination of Samsung Pass and Secure Folder on the Galaxy A12 offers users a comprehensive security solution, protecting their personal information and ensuring their privacy. With these features, Samsung continues to prioritize user security and provide a seamless and protected experience for its customers, even on their budget-friendly smartphone offerings.
