Thanks for your help. As it turned out, there is no way of not setting touch ID or a passcode following the update to iOS 14.1. So, it was an easy matter to initially set up a passcode. Then, in the setting for Touch ID & Passcode there is an option to turn off Passcode.

Hello,

If she truly does not want to protect her phone then yes, you can bypass setting up touch ID and the pass code. My memory isn't exact on this but...

When it asks you to set up touch ID. I think you can say "not now" or "set up later" or words to that effect. You will be prompted twice I think as Apple really wants you to have security but you can bypass it.

For the pass code, when you are on the screen that asks you what kind of pass code you want, 4 digit, 6 digit, alphameric, there is an "other" option. That option will bring up a screen that has "no pass code" or "do not use" or something like that. Tapping that will then let you carry on and you will have no touch ID or pass code security on the phone.

Of course, you can always come back and set these up later should you choose to add security. Sorry to be so inprecise but it has been quite some time since Ive gone through these steps at set-up time.

My wife's iPhone SE first gen has updated to iOS 14.1. Now it is asking to set up either touch ID or a passcode. She would prefer having no security feature but to just have the phone simply open up. Is there a way to bypass this? It doesn't appear so. Or, can she set up a passcode now and then go into security and revert back to no touch ID or passcode?

Thanks,
Jeff
