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

Thanks!
I'll try the Never mode and hope that it works.
The user is an old person and what happens is that when the prompt for adding a code comes up he adds one and then forgets it. The iPad is often restarted because the battery runs out.
