It's by design. You must also enter your passcode if you have not
unlocked your phone in a 48 hour period.

Hi,
I have a simple numeric pascode for my iPhone 6, and I've set it up to use both
my thumbprint and a fingerprint for ITunes and App Store purchases. Haven't
figured out yet why I can't use my thumbprint or fingerprint when powering up
the phone. Is that by design, or did I screw up when setting up the pascode? I
really like the idea of not having to enter a numeric code when booting up the
phone.
BTW, using my fingerprint when purchasing at the app store is great, probably
too easy, in fact.

Subject: Re: Passcodes and touch ID
The default passcode is simple, which is four numbers. You can change this
allowing for a longer numeric passcode. When you hit the power button, you'll
get a standard numeric keypad where you can enter your passcode. As far as I
can tell, once you start entering your code, you can take as long as you want.
I don't know how long the keypad will stay on the screen if you don't start
entering anything.

I hate to admit it but I have never put a passcode or fingerprint ID on my
IPhone. So I have a couple of questions.
1. Does the passcode have to be numbers or can it be alpha characters?
2 If the fingerprint ID is enabled I believe you still have to input the
passcode when powering up the unit. Is this true?
3 How much time do you have to enter the passcode?
4 how many characters are required for your passcode?
Thanks,
Marie
