where’s the passcode

Recently, I have tried to change my passcode, but I cannot find the settings where I change the passcode and fingerprint. I also have tried searching it up. Does anyone even know where it went?

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Have you restricted access to your Passcode settings with ScreenTime restrictions?

Settings > ScreenTime > Content & Privacy Restrictions > [Allow Changes] Passcode Changes - set to Allow


When this permission is set to Don’t Allow, your TouchID & Passcode settings are hidden from view - and are not accessible.
