Requirement to enter passcode every 48 hours

I think pasquires is onto something...

I only seem to get asked to type my passphrase in the mornings after having left the phone to charge overnight. (So in the 4+ hour range on charge or alternatively going past midnight on the charge?)

I charge it overnight, every night. Both my iPhone and iPad with touch ID. It only happens occasionally on both devices. I haven't found any pattern to it.

This does match my observations. All occasions happened at first time unlock attempt in the morning and only since iOS 9.

I too charge my phone every night. It's only happened three or so times for me, but when it has happened, it was only in the morning after the phone has charged all night. No idea whether that's a coincidence, but it is a fact.

There are too many variables involved. It could be overnight, whether it was charged during that time, or not. It could be idle for more that a certain amount of time (e.g., 1 hour). I know it has happened to me in the afternoon, when I had been using it in the morning. So as far as I can tell it is totally random.

You should try reading the thread before commenting on it...

My mistake. I wasn't aware that this thread was all about you.

Oh, wait a minute...

Tried that. Glad it worked for you but didn't for me.

Okay, none of this back and forth is helping.

My experience on this topic, my phone has done the 48 hours thing two weeks in a row, on the first morning after traveling from West to East across time zones in the US, and leaving the phone plugged in overnight. I use my phone every day of the week, so I should never see the 48 hours thing. I'll know later this week if it does the same.

and yet you posted to/about me rather than reading the thread and commenting on the issue...

Only one person seems to be posting ignorant comments on this thread.

Since you don't know what you are talking about and are clearly not interested in helping... well, others have asked you to stop and you've ignored them but, really, it's time for you to put a sock in it.

Why are U responding - if you really aren't here to help, stop responding.

Who made you the Thread Police? Anyone is free to post within the Terms of Use of Apple Support Communities.

FFor me it's also only happened in the morning after charging all night, but more interestingly, it's only happened on Saturday mornings. Perhaps a coincidence, but it is what's happened. Hopefully it's been fixed with the update released today.

Can someone at Apple please tell me how entering a string of numbers is more secure than a finger/thumb print? Who else can enter MY thumbprint? This is annoying!
