How To Setup Galaxy S8 Plus Fingerprint Sensor?

With lots of other biometric security features, Samsung Galaxy S8 also brings the fingerprint scanner that is one of the most needed security features on the smartphones nowadays.

Setting up the fingerprint scanner is not that hard as it is to reach the scanner (chuckles). All you need is to follow the steps and make your phone more secure than ever!
