Six major banks have partnered with Samsung to improve banking security measures with the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung Senior Vice President Justin Denison announced at Samsung Unpacked on Tuesday. Even cooler, it involves eye scanners.

After growing concerns that fingerprint scanners may not be so secure, after having been hacked with a printer, the Note 7's iris scanner feature promises added security to third-party apps through Samsung Pass.

Samsung Pass will act as a password manager of sorts and will let users lock access to apps, folders and documents with their eyes. Samsung is also working with six banks — more to come —to protect access to your bank with the iris scanner. Currently it is available with Bank of America, Citi, US Bank, KEB Hana, Shinhan and Woori.

Fingerprint scanners aren't necessarily going away, and you can still use them for now. But the iris scanner may well take over as the preferred security measure across Samsung Pay, Knox and any personal files in the Note 7's Secure folder (which Denison announced can also be made invisible to others).

There is no word on when Samsung Pass will be available, but we hope to see it in the next few weeks.
