Long story short i was fixing/rearranging my samsung internet browser when i thought of the bookmarks in my secret mode (i haven't opened secret mode for two weeks prior to this) but when i tried to get in with the password i remember and any password that came to mind, it didn't work, so i am asking for help is there any way i can reset/change my secret mode password without deleting the bookmarks or saved pages cause i really REALLY dont want to lose the bookmarks and the saved pages there

I don't know but i hope samsung adds a email verification on secret mode if you forgot it and other stuff where there are passwords needed

Anyway i hope someone finds a way or the samsung creators/member add this feature.

@NoobiSams : I have taken a look into this for you, and unfortunately there does not appear to be a means of resetting or recovering your password in Secret Mode in the Samsung Internet app (Samsung Internet > Tap the 3 lines in the bottom right > Settings > Personal browsing data > Secret mode settings. In the event that you forget your password, you will need to tap on 'Reset Secret mode' in order to add a new password, however this will remove any saved bookmarks or pages, which I appreciate is not ideal. 

I have gone ahead and passed your feedback to our Research and Development Team, to see if anything can be done remedy this in a future update, and will keep you updated with any information they might share regarding this.

This is an ongoing case, @NoobiSams  , where are you seeing that as I cannot that this has been marked as solved anywhere?
