Yes. You cannot set it up without a passcode and sometimes you have to use the passcode anyway - like when you restart the device.

Considering trying to set up “Touch ID” The article regarding Touch ID referred to a “Passcode”. Is this the same passcode I use to unlock my iPad or do I have to create a new one? By the way, I’m a senior who’s never taken a computer course,so, I’m not fluent in “techno-speech”. I apologize in advance if I’ve messed this up!
