Re: Turning Off Passcode

[Marco Chan]

I think you can double tap on reset Face ID, then use Apple to turn the passcode off as well.

Of course, I want it on, so I stopped when I had try the change passcode button, and it still wouldn't enable me to turn it off. That is why I suggest calling Apple. If you want anyone who manages to take your phone to be able to use it freely, turning off passcode is the way to do it. 😊       Richard, USA “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
