I dont want the screen lock with passcode

I'm 75 big thumbs, bad eyes and when I want to use my phone I am FORCED into entering a password.

What are you security freaks going to do when you get my age and patience level.

Face recognition does not work in the dark and thumb recognition is off.


iPhone 12 Pro Max

Passcode unlock can be disable on the iPhone, but it is not advised to do so.

When you disable the passcode lock, your Apple Pay cards and car keys will be removed form Wallet and will have to be manually re-added to use them again.


Turn off passcode by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Scroll down the screen until you reach the option to Turn Passcode Off.

You either have a face id or touch id and not both.


So what happens when you go into settings turn off the passcode?
