How To Turn Off The Password On An iPhone

Even if iOS devices now offer several biometric methods for the protection of files, the good old password is still very efficient. People say passwords are the least secure these days, but I beg to differ since they still get the job done.

A passcode is simply a memorized secret, mainly a string of characters, used to confirm the identity of a phone owner. This memorized secret consists of a sequence of words or other text separated by spaces and they help a phone user gain access to his or her device at any time of the day.

Years ago, privacy was not practiced and anyone could access our phones at any time. However, as the years rolled by, the practice is now a thing of the past. Passwords now exist and they help to protect our smartphones from being tampered with in our absence.

It also helps when our device gets stolen because there will be no need to panic about the thief using your data and personal information safe against you. However, password usage could also be inconvenient sometimes, for instance, when you want your siblings to check your device to read out cooking instructions while you are busy in the kitchen, or to control your playlist at your party via your handset.

The reason does not matter since it is actually easy to disable the passcode on your iPhone. However, you must be aware that without a passcode, your iOS device will not store your Apple Pay cards, and it is impossible to reuse a deactivated passcode to reset your Apple ID if you do not remember it. You can expect to also lose Face ID and Touch ID security. See How To Turn Off The Password On An iPhone:
