Be aware that your iPad Passcode is an essential element of your system security - in that it locks/unlocks the iPad Secure Enclave (security chip) that holds system encryption keys for the filesystem and your stored passwords. If you disable your Passcode, you will also disable the Secure Enclave - and with it you will lose access to (and use of) core system functions.


Whilst FaceID/TouchID functions are predicated upon access to the Secure Enclave, disabling the TouchID/FaceID functions does not have such major impact upon overall function of the iPad.


If you still wish to disable the iPad Passcode, whilst not recommended, you can do so - but you will seriously impact iPad functionality.

Settings > TouchID | FaceID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off
