Welcome to Android Central! What's the exact name of the app? If you're talking about com.osp.app.signin, it's related to the Samsung Account app: https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/924626-what-used-com-osp-app-signin.html. That in itself is not malware. How do you know your Samsung account is compromised?

What happened to your Google account depends on how securely you handle it. Do you ever log into a public computer (like at the library, or at the mall, or even a commonly used terminal at work) with your Google account, and then forget to sign back out when you're done? If so, then any Google searches or activity done on that terminal afterwards are logged to your account. If some no-goodnik decides to mess around with you, then that wouldn't be too hard. This is why it's so important to handle your Google account like any other sensitive account (like your bank accounts), and make sure you have it secured with 2-factor authentication.

I assume you've already done the usual things like changing your Google account password (and the passwords of all of your other sensitive accounts), and making sure they're not easily guessable (i.e., don't use things like family birthdays). As mentioned above, start using 2-factor authentication NOW.

Jennifer I had the same thing happen to me. Our devices have a private and public storage. I assume the SECURE FOLDER is the private storage as opposed to the other one. I created a secret folder and added my important apps to it. And I tested them, they are basically showing up as logged in , on 2 separate devices. I signed off all my apps on HOME SCREEN and i have the saved password featured added on the apps in my Secret Folder.
