Many users successfully initialize the fingerprint sensor during the initial setup but they don’t understand how to add another fingerprint later.
But it is very important to know how to register another one because many of Galaxy phone owners will surely want to be able to unlock their phone with thumbs of both hands.
Moreover, in some cases you may also need to allow you wife (or husband) to use the same smartphone and be able to quickly unlock it.
