Hidden photo, would be great to have option for a second pass code. Example my kids know my phone pin and are smart enough on how iPhone works to show hidden photos. The whole reason for having a hidden file is so it’s protected. So why have the same passcode. The user already access the phone so they are entering the same pass code again.

Because your iPhone is a single user device with a passcode that should not be known by anyone else. You can change your Passcode here:

There is actually quite a bit of damage that can be done with a child having access to your phone other than viewing the Hidden Photos. It also authorizes them to make any purchases on your device and it is possible that you will be locked out of your phone if they are able to enter a different Apple Account on the device. The passcode protects much more than your hidden photos. It is not recommended that a child knows your Passcode.
If you want a child to use a single app on your device, then it would be best to use Guided Access where they are unable to exit the current screen and do not need to know your Passcode.

Stop doing that.
Please don’t share your passcode. The damage that can arise can be unrecoverable. Precious photos gone — not the hidden ones — and important data gone, data corruptions and settings corruptions, expensive purchases, erased devices, permanently deleted Apple Accounts, banking and financial and social media passwords freely shared with others, and worse. Device damage, too. I’ve cleaned up after these misadventures. What cleanup can be done. Please don’t share your passcode.

Doesn’t change the answer.
Sharing a device or sharing an Apple Account too often ends badly.
And here, you are even trying to not share it.

Can I set a separate passcode for hidden photos on iPhone?
