That is what I suspected all along. You are being prompted to enter a passcode because you didn’t have one before the update. There is no reason why you cannot continue using your device without a passcode if that is what you want. - Brad - On Jan 27, 2021, at 18:54, Marie <scribbles...@gmail.com> wrote: No, this is a phone which stays home so there was no previous passcode.

Hi Marie, So I'm curious. Did you set up another 4 digit passcode on your 12 Mini before you were able to upgrade to iOS 14.4? I'm trying to establish some pattern as to why some folks upgrading their devices were taken to a new passcodes screen while the majority of those replying were not. I had to provide my existing 4 digit passcode before the upgrade would even download and install and I was never taken to a new passcodes screen during the process. I expect there must be something similar between Cher's and your facts that resulted in both of you being taken to the new passcodes screen.

No, she is not wrong about it asking for a new passcode. I updated my 12 Mini to 14.4 yesterday and was also asked about face ID and Passcode. However, I did see the passcode options button. Marie From: Alan Lemly Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 9:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode? Cher, I'm a bit confused because I thought I'd read all the posts in this thread. Are you saying that you upgraded your device which previously had a 4 digit passcode to iOS 14.4. and during that process you were presented with a screen requesting a new 6 digit passcode? If that is the case, your experience seems to differ with what everyone else who has posted experienced including myself. That leads me to believe that either my understanding of what has happened is incorrect or you need to provide some additional details in order for us to help. Based on my experience, it sounds as if you are on a new device setup screen where the default is to prompt the user to set up a 6 digit passcode but also provides an option to opt for a 4 digit passcode as others have posted. I was not presented with any such screen when updating to iOS 14.4 so either your facts disagree with my understanding or your facts need a different subject line. I would agree with Richard that you might call Apple Accessibility but I suspect they will ask for the additional details I requested above. I hope you can get this sorted.

If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other circumstances when you'll be occasionally asked for your passcode.
