You cannot use touch ID with your iPhone. Your iPhone supports face ID and entering your passcode.

Each time you restart the phone you have to enter your passcode, the same goes if you try Touch I d and after a certain number of attempts it doesn't recognize your fingerprint, it will then ask for the passcode to authenticate and unlock the phone. I don't know if you turn your phone often, but really you shouldn't. iPhones are designed to be on all the time and the don't have to be shut down at all. From time to time you may end up having to turn it off and back on if you have strange issues or of course there could be a time when you simply run out of battery and the phone turns itself off, but I literally go weeks and sometimes months without turning my phone off and back on and the only time I have to put in my passcode is when for some reason Face Id isn't working a few times one attempt after another (same goes for Touch Id) or for some other strange reason. But typically I again often go days without having to enter my passcode manually. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Tuesday, September 6, 2022 9:18 PM To: V iPhone list <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > Subject: Re: Can I Use Touch ID Instead of Pass Code It's been asking for the Pass Code for months now. When I power up, it says Pass Code is required when phone starts up. My memory is that it started asking for it after I had set use Touch ID on the App Store instead of Apple ID. I turn on the phone much more than I get apps and had tried to change it to must use Apple ID on App Store in hopes of not being asked for the Pass Code to turn on the phone, but I still had to use the pass code. I THINK I could use Touch ID the other day when I installed a free app from the App Store and did not have to type my Apple ID but it wasn't a good day and my memory may not be correct. I don't want to get rid of the Pass Code entirely; having it helped with some mishap I had. I just would prefer not to have to type it in every time I use the phone.

The SE2020 is my first smart phone and is my back up with my land line being my primary phone. I have the cell powered off most of the time and might power it on for texting or to check the weather app etc. I have Apple ID, Touch ID, and Pass Code set up and have purchased an app on the App Store. The way things are set up, I have to type in my pass code when I power up. I can usually do it correctly the first or second time so typing it isn't the problem; I'd prefer to use Touch Id instead if possible. I am not in a work or school situation and my house does not resemble Grand Central Station and I do not have a lot of personal information on the cell. The original post did say locked and not powered off. When I first got the cell and was trying to follow along with a tutorial, the phone kept saying locked what sounded every 30 seconds and locked became a "dirty" word and I never investigated what it was good for. I turned lock to never. I'm using the phone a little more now and would be willing to change that if someone could explain why it would be good when I use the phone so little. I'd greatly appreciate knowing if I can keep the pass code for when I needed it for other things and could use Touch ID when powering on.

I just bought an iPhone 13 mini and have set up Face ID with no difficulty; however, it seems that it'll work two or three times and then will require me to use my pass code to unlock my phone. I am getting very tempted to put my SIM card back in my SE 20 lol. It's much easier to just reach over and unlock it with my finger than to pick up my mini and hope I can get it to unlock without having to type in my pass code. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
