Samsung is moving beyond payment cards and IDs to store actual passport data in Samsung Wallet, expanding biometric and travel document aggregation on consumer devices. The risk profile shifts: while Samsung positions this as convenience, centralizing passport data on a phone creates a single point of failure for identity theft and a higher-value target for breach attempts—especially given Samsung's mixed track record on security patches. Device makers are positioning themselves as identity infrastructure, standing between citizens and governments.
