iPhone 13 passcode

[allchange]

Can I use a numeric passcode on my new iPhone 13 to open it ? I have problems with finger tip recognition (causes me all sorts of problems at work).

Of course. Almost everyone uses a numeric passcode.

Instead of the 6 digit standard passcode, I suggest you opt for an 8 digit passcode. That means that instead of the routine passcode, you select personal option.

But whether you stick with a 6 or 8 passcode - YES - you CAN use nothing but numerals.

Good luck.

I use 4 -12 numbers, but opt to use the alpha-numeric option, so others may assume there are numbers, letters and special characters being used.

Thanks for the replies .I cant find any information on setting numeric passcode when using quick start any advise would be most welcome.

No, if you are using Quick Start to set up a new device, then you have wait, and change the passcode after the device iOS is installed.

I have problems with finger tip recognition (causes me all sorts of problems at work).

I don't know if this trick will still work but I also had trouble with finger-tip recognition when using a trackpad, and a Mac Guru friend who also had the same problem suggested doing what he did thank you when a finger touch didn't work, and that was to breathe out a large breath with lips wide open on the hand using the finger touching. I think the idea was to add some moisture to the fingers.

It worked for him and it certainly worked for me when I needed it, and apparantly it changes some sort of capacitance or something.

Anyway, it may be worthwhile giving it a try, and let's hope it works for you.

Thanks for all the advise phone now set up. I think owing to previous failures at work I will not use fingertip recognition.

Why not facial ID? That's the easiest on that Phone.
