Login to your Samsung account

Some settings won’t be enabled if you’re not logged into your Samsung account. So, follow these steps to login if you haven’t done so already…

Press the Bixby button.

Now enter your Samsung credentials. If you don’t have one, then you will have to create a new Samsung account.
If you’re asked to ‘Use your biometrics’ tap ‘Not now’.
Tap the Next arrow again.
Review the terms and conditions and tap the Next.
Tap the Next for the final time.
And that’s it, you’re logged in.
