Hi Petrus,

Yes, for sure.  In Settings, Display & Brightness, you can set the Auto-Lock 
time to five minutes.  You can even set it to Never, but I would never 
recommend that to anyone.  For the other part of your question, yes, again.  Go 
into Settings, Touch ID & Pass-Code enter the pass-code, then un-tick the box 
for using Touch ID to unlock the iPhone.

Good luck and stay safe.

Later...

Now this is another Touch ID question so I left the subject line the same.
I’m trying to help someone else on another blind iPhone users email list that 
I’m on. She is in her 80s and uses an iPhone mostly for playing games on. She 
has a lot of trouble using the virtual keyboard to enter her Apple ID password. 
She’s asking about Touch ID as it might make it easier for her. Can one stop 
the screen from locking automatically so she doesn’t need to use Touch ID to 
unlock her phone all the time but leave the Touch ID activated for her game 
purchases in the App Store? She lives on her own so doesn’t need to lock her 
phone as often. I think she will be able to cope with the six digit pass code 
if she does need to use it?
