As described, you have chosen (and set) an alphanumeric for your Passcode. As such, you’ll not see the onscreen numeric keypad, but instead a single field with an onscreen keyboard.


If you wish to just see a numeric keypad, you’ll need to change your device Passcode to a six (or four) digit code.
