iPhone passcode

Hello,

iPhone may periodically ask to confirm your passcode so it can continue to use Apple services like iCloud that securely encrypt your data using your iPhone passcode.

This is not a feature you can disable unless you remove your iPhone passcode, lowering its security.

Thanks for reaching out!

Passcode.

If it is doing it when you are not accessing Keychain (passwords) or signing into this forum then backup and restore the phone from backup

Procedure.

 First thing I advise is to try a Forced restart 

Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK) 

If no better you could Backup, restore to factory, then restore from the backup:-  

If necessary set up without restoring backup and test at that point, erase again, then restore from the backup:-  

(If the phone needs attention you will have to do this anyway) 

If you can import your media to Photos or iTunes in a computer and copy important documents to a cloud server it will give you some resilience in case the restore from backup fails, or you need to ditch the backup and start as new.  

See here for the resources you need. Allow a couple of hours:

Me neither, never happens unless I have something to block my face or one eye closed or dark glasses,

Both of you reset FaceID and set it again,

This will happen every time you access an iCloud feature like password Keychain. Have you tried face ID (or Touch ID on some models)?

It should not happen randomly or spontaneously.

iPhone 15 demands passcode several times a day to unlock. I've never experienced this kind of annoyance in the 10 years I have used iPhones! Very tempted to remove passcode altogether or use 4 zeros.

You originally said passcode, now you said password, which is it?

i.e. iphone opening passCODE

or Apple ID passWORD?

I am not experiencing this
