I accidentally removed "Samsung_default" in user credentials under Biometric and security > Other security settings > User Certificates. Is this necessary? What does it do? How do I get it back?

when you launch anything samsung, the phone should automatically replace the certificate. i would not worry about it.

This is more supposition than definitive, so just guessing that user cert is/was tied to Samsung Pass:

Were you even using Samsung Pass previously? Since it was a user cert and not a system cert, it would likely relate just to a user account (your own) so if you go through the process of implementing and disabling Samsung Pass does that restore it?

Accidentally removing "Samsung_default" user credentials can have consequences. It's a default security certificate used for authentication and encryption. To restore it, go to Biometric and security > Other security settings > User Certificates, and look for an option to import or install certificates. If it's not available, contact Samsung support for assistance.
