You must create a few Samsung accounts, and share this information with Uscreen, in order for Uscreen to build, submit, and maintain your Samsung TV Apps.
Gosh! 3 accounts? Yes, these are all required. But good news! The accounts use a single login, with the same information. They are fast and straightforward to set up. They are free.
Accounts Needed

Create Samsung Account
First, you need to create a Samsung Account. You may already have one, if you already use Samsung products. Uscreen strongly recommends that you create a Samsung Account specific for your business, and not a personal account, because you will share this with Uscreen, and it is important to separate business and personal information.
Create Account.
Agree to terms.
Enter an email address specific to your business (do not use a personal email).
Verify your Samsung account via email with the code.
Store your password safely. You will share the password with us at a later step.
Done!
