I was setting up my phone today S20+ Unlocked. I then did a factory reset because I thought I clicked on a malicious link/download (probably over reacting). Anyway after the reset I was installing apps again and got to install and launch facebook. my username and password were prepopulated. The username was some weird number that I never saw before. It logged in fine.
Is this something Samsung would have somehow remembered and prepopulated?
Anyone ever see this before?

The first time you set the phone up, if you had Google Backup turned on, that might have saved the information to your Google account (not sure if Samsung has a similar option). After you did the factory reset, if you chose the option to restore, then it may have remembered the login information.
