TL;DR

• A leaked Samsung Pass APK suggests upcoming support for securely storing passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, banking invoices, and more.
• However, the build currently suffers from bugs such as missing password access and Samsung Cloud sync.
• The leak hints that Samsung may fold deeper ID storage into Wallet as it continues shifting Pass toward a unified, Knox-secured identity hub.

Samsung Pass, the company’s biometric vault for passwords and personal data, may be getting a major expansion. Screenshots of a leaked APK were shared by GalaxyTechie on X, hinting that Samsung is preparing to let users store a wider range of sensitive documents, including passports, national ID cards, driver’s licenses, tax information, addresses, and more. The screenshots included in the leak show multiple new fields under categories like Personal documents, Private info, and Invoice info, complete with forms for name, DOB, gender, issuing authority, expiration, and even both sides of your ID card.
