Hi badgolferman,

Thanks for trying to help as it's always dangerous to try to help someone.
She doesn't want _any_ verification (and I can't blame her either).
So FaceID (which is merely a marketing gimmick) isn't what she wants.

BTW, have _you_ seen this requirement by Apple to create the passcode?
Here's a screenshot of my iPad asking for it when I updated to 16.7.2.
<https://i.postimg.cc/9fPjQpr3/nag01.jpg> 3 iOS nag items
<https://i.postimg.cc/wxwgN0Fg/nag02.jpg> 2 iOS nag items
<https://i.postimg.cc/3NVqB4dC/nag03.jpg> 1 iOS nag item (permanent)

But notice I was able to get past the idiotic requirement for a passcode.
But I'm not in iOS 17 so that's why I need to ask the group for help.

As an aside, notice there are 3 privacy-stealing Apple requests:
1. Set up 2FA (which you can _never_ get rid of once you set it up)
2. Set up a passcode (which means Apple thinks you live in a slum)
3. Log into Apple servers (which is a request you can't get rid of)

Notice Apple forces periodic login into Apple servers, and, since I tested
it, after about two years of NOT logging into Apple servers, Apple will
unilaterally brick your iPad (ask me how I know this) without your consent.

Anyway, with that rant over with, the main question here is what does she
have to do on iOS 17 (which I don't have!) to get rid of Apple's passcode
request (she doesn't want any biometrics or PINs as she doesn't need 'em).

I learn about Apple, not from what Apple says, but from what Apple does.

Like I said, it may work and it may not.

Oh. Perfect. That image helped a lot. Thanks for being persistent.
I called her up with that and sent it to her & that solved the problem.

In summary, on my iPad (updated to iOS 16.7.2), it's this...
Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Turn Passcode On (because it's off).
On her iPhone (newly upgraded to iOS 17), it was this...
Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off

Turning that off solved the 2nd of 3 annoyances from Apple's upgrade.
Thanks for being a purposefully helpful human being.

Much appreciated.
Now she only has the 1 permanent nag item to re-identify herself to Apple.

Apple says they don't track you, but all the facts shows that they do.
