iPhone requires passcode twice a day, phone never restarts and I use my iPhone all day why does it keep asking for my passcode ? When I have Face ID. The iPhone doesn’t reboot or restart

Hey there AztheSav,


We would be more than happy to provide you with more information on your passcode and Face ID.


There are a number of reasons as to why your iPhone would ask for the passcode instead of using Face ID. You can find the reasons here in the 'If you need to enter your passcode' of If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro


Have a great day!

I would be very careful about putting in your passcode twice. I was told it was for security or some bs in the past but in reality my devices were compromised using iCloud & my passcode. Be vigilant. U currently have an iPhone with a corrupt firmware on iOS 14.6. My MacBook is stuck as well & my apple support apps are sideloaded/altered so I'm literally being scammed by apple. Mitigate with vigilance.
