I previously owned a Samsung, and got confused by the Fort Knox feature. The description of the feature said that only I could access it, but required me to sign up for an Samsung account to use it. I never understood why I needed an online account to use an offline feature, and it also said I needed to register in case I forgot the password and would need to regain access.
