iPhone SE 2021 temporarily shut off passcode lock

iPhone SE 2021 is it safe to temporarily shut off passcode lock for a few hours? Fingerprint doesn't always work due to slight hand tremor. There is no Face Recognition setting on my iPhone iOS 16.1.2 Is there a danger to the battery life to shut off passcode lock?
