For security, the passcode to unlock the phone should be different from the passcode to unlock Passwords. Is this possible?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 15
In large cities people are being mugged for their phones and asked, at gunpoint, for the passcode. With only one passcode that unlocks *everything* the thief then has full access. Can the passcode to Passwords be different to add a level of protection here at least?

To unlock your Passwords you need your Password.

I’m not talking about changing my passwords. I’m worried about a mugger unlocking my phone and using the same code to view all my apps, websites and associated passwords. If they thieves know what they’re doing, they have total access to all accounts on my phone. Thieves who steal phones are hitting the financial apps to move money and changing passwords on social media accounts. All within minutes. So, the phone unlock code should be different from the Password unlock code. Is this possible?
no there is not a way to set a different passcode to access passwords
you can leave Apple feedback if you like
Or you could look into a 3rd party password storage app
Thank you Chris.
