Is the second generation iPad Pro capable of using Face ID rather than using passcodes ? May I also ask if it is necessary to enter a passcode if the fingerprint verification is working ? It is somewhat annoying to have your fingerprint verification work then still be asked to enter your passcode or password. The same thing with regards to aiPhone 12.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
IPad Pro Second generation specs can be found here. it has FaceID.
iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) - Technical Specifications
I am aware of no situations that require both FaceID + entering your passcode on iPhone 12 (or any Apple device I’ve used with either biometric type). If you are using the biometric scan then are required to enter the passcode, it is likely the biometric scan is not working and/or is not setup properly. Please refer here:

I was responding to Tim’s answer to my question which really wasn’t answered because first of all I said that my iPad was a second generation iPad Pro whereas his answer referred to the 11.9-inch second generation iPad Pro. Also, his comments included erasing my iPad Pro. Bet Hey wait a minute, I don’t want to lose important data. He didn’t even address that!
I appreciate that you answered my questions however in your reply to my questions your answer includes “erase” your iPad. But you didn’t mention anything about losing my data .
Face ID, fingerprint verification, and the redundancy of requiring a passcode as well
