I do not see the Unlock icon in the SETTINGS => GENERAL or in the SETTINGS => PRIVACY & SECURITY pages.
How do you turn off the lock screen if I do not want to type in the combination every time I check my phone?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

There is no "Unlock" icon, and the text setting for Passcode is not under Settings > General or Settings > Privacy & Security, so that might explain some of the difficulty that you are encountering.
If you want to remove the Passcode requirement........
Tap Settings
Tap Face ID & Passcode
Tap Turn Passcode Off and follow the prompts
Note.....by turning off the Passcode requirement, anyone who picks up your phone will have free and complete access to change the settings on the phone and lock you out of your own phone.

Actually, I saw that but it didn't track with me. Thank you very much for your response and for the cautionary "tip". I appreciate it very much.
