Samsung has launched a new feature, Digital Home Key, in its Samsung Wallet in Canada. This feature lets people unlock their home doors using their Samsung Galaxy phones. It makes things easier because you don’t need to carry a physical key anymore.

Earlier, Samsung Wallet was mainly used for storing payment cards, IDs, tickets, and even car keys. Now, with Digital Home Key, users can also store and use their house keys digitally. This means you no longer need to carry a physical key to unlock your door.

The feature works with compatible smart locks that are set up using Samsung SmartThings and the Matter system. Once the lock is connected, users can easily add their home key to Samsung Wallet.

There are different ways to unlock the door. You can simply tap your phone using NFC, use hands-free unlocking with UWB when you are nearby, or even unlock the door remotely through the app. The technology behind this system is based on Aliro, developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.

Samsung is working with popular smart lock brands, including Aqara, Nuki, Schlage, and Xthings, to support this feature. For security, the digital keys are protected by Samsung Knox. If your phone is lost, you can remove access remotely. This new feature started rolling out in March 2026 in Canada and will expand to more regions soon.
