Hi All!
I did not see a forum for iPad 5th Generation, so I post here, I hope that’s OK!
My issue with Touch ID is:
- When I bought the machine, I set a Passcode only; I did not enable Touch ID. Now, I want to use Touch ID- I think it’s more secure.
- Now, I have enabled Touch ID, I added 2 fingerprints.
- But, when I restart my machine, the Lock Screen says, “Touch ID requires your Passcode when iPad restarts.”
- So, I enter the Passcode, and I access my machine. No Touch ID is used to do this. I don’t want to use my Passcode, I want to use Touch ID only.
- I went to Settings->Touch ID & Passcode. There, the only viable option I could see was ‘Turn Passcode Off.’ So, I did that. Then, a pop-up appeared that said, ‘Delete Saved Fingerprints?’ I chose ‘Keep,’ and next, another pop-up appeared saying, ‘Set Passcode.’ I did that, I had to, and when I restarted my machine 5 or 10 minutes later, I’m back to “Touch ID requires your Passcode when iPad restarts.“
- Can anybody *please* tell me how to use Touch ID instead of a Passcode when the Lock Screen appears? Thanks!
- Just in passing, I was prompted to use Touch ID when downloading an app from the App Store. It works fine.
Thanks for reading!
