Stop asking for passcode

Hi!


How do stop iPad from asking for passcode, for ever?


Even when I set the settings to stop asking for passcode the iPad later suggest that again.

I’m helping an old person and he then enters a code, and forgets it.

Completely removing your Passcode from your iPad is perhaps ill-advised - as this will completely disable a number of advanced functions such as your Keychain (that contains all your saved passwords etc.). You can, however, disable the auto-lock function - while keeping the Passcode intact. With auto-lock disabled, you’ll only be prompted for your Passcode if you manually lock the iPad - or after a restart.


Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock - set to Never


If you really wish to completely disable the iPad Passcode (not recommended - as described above, you’ll disable key functionality), you can completely remove the Passcode:

Settings > TouchID|TouchID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off


For older models that don’t have TouchID/FaceID functions, the path to the required settings is only slightly different:

Settings > Passcode > Turn Passcode Off
