Passcode and Face ID

Can I disable the passcode and Face ID on my phone. I almost crashed trying to get into my phone to play music in the car. It struggles to recognize my face all winter because I'm wearing a hat and the I struggle to type the passcode with gloves. I would prefer to just touch it and have it open. Will Apple allow that or do I have to have it locked all of the time?


iPhone 14, iOS 16

If you disable passcode and Face ID your wallet content will be deleted, your health data will be erased, and your stored passwords will be cleared. You will also lose other functionality.


Further, if you have a business or school email account on your phone or if it is under Mobile Device Management (MDM) you will not be able to disable your phone’s security.
