Samsung Pass has always been the biometric locker for passwords, autofill data, and quick logins. But a leaked APK suggests Samsung wants to transform it into something bigger. We\u2019re talking passports. National IDs. Driver\u2019s licences. Tax details. Business invoices. The entire identity stack.
