Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand the confusion on how to set up a Samsung account and would be happy to assist you further. Not only does your Samsung account give you access to exclusive apps, like SmartThings and Samsung Pay, it lets you back up, restore, and sync your data between multiple devices, like your phone and tablet. This will also help if you forget your ID or password. Some features may vary by device and country, so remember to keep your information up-to-date.
Note: Available settings and screens may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and device. When signing in to an account, you may be asked to verify your identity using two-step verification.
