list of the actual numbers used to try to unlock my iphone

Sorry, but as mentioned there is no solution. There is no way to see something that is never stored anywhere, leaves no permanent record, and cannot be accessed or made viewable by any app at the time of entry.

There is no way to see what code anyone enters at the lock screen. Quite honestly, if there was a way to see that, it would indicate a massive and ridiculous hole in iOS’s basic device security.

There is no way to see the numbers used when entering a passcode. Were you letting someone try to unlock your iPad? What is your real concern about your iPad?

I do not know of any way to see that information. If you are concerned about someone trying to unlock your iPad, just be very careful that it is always under your control and don't let anyone near it. If someone does try to get into it, it will be disabled after 10 unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.

I don't think you're getting this. NO ONE HERE CAN OR SHOULD HELP YOU. There is no solution within iOS or external apps to crack the code of someone's passcode for iPhone. If anyone here tried to help you, they'd be knowingly helping you break the law to hack illegally into someone's phone.

NO ONE HERE CAN OR SHOULD DO THAT.

If you have marital issues, you should seek help from a qualified counselor.

There is no solution to what you want.

Why must there be? The only thing authorization cares about is, did the numbers entered match the expected sequence? If yes, open. If not, deny. There's no logical, or even useful reason to save incorrect entries.

As noted, it does not matter what numbers he uses nor does it matter to you what numbers he uses. Try not to let him have access to your iPad so it won’t get disabled from too many incorrect attempts.

The same person will try to lock on my ipad with the same digits.

That makes no sense. It doesn't matter what digits they use, just so they're the wrong ones.

i’ve been looking up apps that take a photo of the intruder, tell you the time they tried and the location. but i don’t need any of that. i just need the digits of the failed attempts. is there an app that shows you that?

No. The device can't do anything from the lock screen. That's why it's called a lock screen. Well, you can make the camera available even from there, but what "intruder" is going to take a picture of themselves?

Sorry to hear he appears to be having memory issues. But regardless, knowing which incorrect numbers he entered would still have zero value. He could use entirely different numbers the next time. And even if he uses the exact same incorrect numbers every single time, knowing what they are wouldn't change anything. The devices will still get locked after 10 incorrect tries.

Which incorrect numbers he enters is completely, 100% irrelevant.

Edit: Oh, wait. I think I get it.

You asked if he's always entering the same numbers, and then noted he stops after a couple of tries when realizing it's not his device.

Wanting to know which same numbers he enters and hoping your iPad or iPhone captures those entries can only mean one thing. He won't tell you what it is, and you want to know what the passcode is to his iPhone or iPad.

If you want to know his passcode, you will need to ask him. Anything else is immoral and possibly illegal.

There are 1,000,000 possible combinations for six numbers. Having the first two still leaves you with 10,000 possible combinations for the last four numbers. It would be an achievement of extreme luck to get the correct digits before locking out the device.

This is an issue you'll have to work out with your husband. Any real attempt by anyone here to help you open a privately owned device would be illegal. It would fall under hacking to gain access to a device that does not belong to anyone here. And hacking is a federal crime with severe penalties.

No one here in their right mind would help you to illegally access a device that does not belong to you, and especially not to us. Not unless spending a long period of time in a jail cell is on their bucket list.

Professional marriage counseling is a suggestion we can give. Other than that, not much else.
