Passcode ONLY FOR wallet? not every time I use my phone

Is there a way to set up my phone to only require a passcode when using Wallet?

I don’t want to have to use a passcode every time I use my phone….just when I want to use Wallet.

iPhone 12

Actually, there IS.


Go to Settings -> FaceID and Passcode.


From there you can turn “off” FaceID from Wallet & ApplePay.


This will prompt you to enter your passcode w/ every ApplePay transaction.


HOWEVER … a strong argument could be made that entering your passcode repeatedly in public areas (i.e. at POS terminals) is quite injurious to your security - by increasing the number of opportunities for your Passcode to be stolen by observation.
