Explain the details of the problem you're having. This can help us figure out what's going wrong.

Remove 72 hour password requirement from Biometrics.

This leads me to think that Samsung Developers might have illegal content on their phones, which is why they require this kind of security "feature" for their protection at the cost of our inconvenience.

For the rest of us, this is simply ridiculous. Either eliminate it or provide us with the option to turn it off from our devices for those who do not partake in illegal activities that necessitate such extra security.

Had I known this "feature" was on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, I would not have purchased it. I won't be buying a Samsung product in the future if they have this "feature" installed.

I have biometrics installed so I Do Not have to use my password. If Samsung wishes to force me to constantly use my password despite having biometrics then I will purchase from a different company that better respects my time.

Edit: My background was a professionally trained Airforce Security Officer working with secret and top-secret information. The above opinion was formed from the basis of my background and training.

Seriously, how much time does it take out of your day to enter your password.

This is required by Google, not Samsung!

All phones do this, if you haven't used it in certain amount of time.

It's a security measure for your protection

Speak for yourself, I would bet that most people don't mind at ALL.

Do you realize that you can completey eliminate the need to unlock your phone simply by NOT setting a password or biometric? After all, you are not partaking in illegal activities, so it should not be that big of a deal. No one is too busy to put their password in every three days.
