Ios 8.02 passcode lock

In past editions of the ios, there were different time intervals that could be set before having to reenter the passcode. With the fingerprint scanner, it's not terribly difficult to bypass the passcode, however this must be done every time the phone is woke up. Looking under Settings/TouchID & Passcode/Require Passcode I see the only option is "immediately". Can't uncheck it and there are no additional time intervals available. Basically, the only options are to disable the passcode lock or to have it require a code every time I access the phone. Anybody else having this problem?

That is how it is designed and that is how it was in iOS 7 with an iPhone 5s with Touch ID enabled.
I guess I am used to it and it doesn't bother me; I'm in the habit of waking the phone by pressing the Home button and then releasing it while leaving my finger on the button and that isn't an issue for me and doesn't seem to me like it takes any longer than any other way of waking the phone. There have been many previous discussions (ever since the 5s was released) by others that view it as a problem however.

IPod Touch 5th Gen w/iOS 7.0.2 - Delayed 'Passcode' Lock Entry Issue

Hi,
This evening I've updated my iPod Touch 5th Gen from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.2 via the 'Over the Air' method, which went well initialy.
Following using the device, upgrading all of the apps and performing a couple of backups to iCloud, I have noticed that there is an issue with entering of the 'Passcode Lock' code to unlock the device. There is a 25 to 30 second delay in me pressing a digit key on the 'Unlock' screen and the screen registering that I've entered a key. Has anyone else experienced this?
I assume that this is an issue brought about due to the security fix that has been implemented within the iOS 7.0.2 update. I am about to submit a Bug Report to Apple regarding this.
At present, I have upgrading both of my iPhone 4S and the iPad 3rd Gen devices to iOS 7.0 and they experience no issues at all - working fine. I guess I will hold off upgrading these two devices at the moment.

I've been playing with the iPod, namely attempting to type text - all applications are affected. I hadn't been typing text when I was playing with it. I think the keyboard libraries have been corrupted.
I have updated tge Bug Report and will plan to wipe and restore device using iTunes 11.1. If this is successfull, will use the same approach for the other devices.

How to restore the greek keyboard passcode lock in IOS 7.0.2

Anyone know how to restore the keyboard passcode lock back to the greek style in IOS 7.0.2? I heard it's an option in the new firmware update but can't figure out how to go back to it. Any ideas?

Yes, but you might not want to do this at the present time as it's likely your phone will not recognise the new password once set. See other posts.

How to set Passcode lock time in iOS 7.02?

In upgrading my Sprint, iPhone 5s from iOS 7.0 to 7.0.2, when go to Settings/General/Passcode-Fingerprint/Require Passcode, it is now set on "Immediately", when, in 7.0, I had it set for 15 minutes.
When I touch the word "Immediately", the screen shows the word "Immediately", followed by a checkmark. Below the word "Immediately", is a text line stating "Shorter times are more secure." However, when I touch the word "Immediately", the drop down menu that previously appeared under Version 7.0, which provided a choice of Passcode lock times, no longer appears, so I cannot change the time settings for the Passcode lock function.
Is the choice of time settings willfully no longer available, or is this a bug? If a bug, is there a workaround?
Thank you!!

I found an answer, as I had the same issue. And of course, like many things Apple, it's fairly simple.
The issue arises when you have Touch ID enabled. Once you disable Touch ID, you will then have choices of longer periods before a passcode is required. Of course then you don't have Touch ID, but mine rarely works anyway. My skin is too dry and it fails constantly.
There is a good explanation here: http://danstillman.com/2013/09/30/touch-id-and-require-passcode-immediately

If i get a passcode on ios 7 will it lock my ipod if my brother tries many times?

I have a little brother and I want to add a passcode lock to my iPod which as iOS 7 and I am afraid that if my little brother tries to get into my iPod he will try many times to get into my iPod and he will fail and he will lock my iPod forever to my question is if he tries many times will he lock my iPod forever

I do not believe this is accurate for iOS 7 where there are additional security provisions. The process is more complicated and involves logging on to iCloud and removing your iPod from the Find My iPhone list. (others will give you better directions). In any case, be sure that Find My iPhone is turn on in your iCloud settings. Otherwise you will not be able to do what is necessary.

I turned on the passcode lock to come on in 1 hour. It doesn't seem to be working. I thought that this would make the Ipad 2 IOS 7 require me to type in a code after 1 hour. Is my thinking not right on this?

As stated I turned on my passcode lock to come on after 1 hour of operation. It doesn't work like I thought it would. My thoughts were that it would go to the lock screen and then require a code. Is my thinking not right on this? What am i doing wrong?

The passcode will be requested after the device has been in sleep mode for one hour. It does not turn off the device, nor is it a usage timer.

Problem removing 4 digit passcode lock (IOS 4.2.1)

When i try to turnoff my passcode lock, the phone get stuck at the second pass confirmation page.. Help.

Does it normally took this long to reset?
No, but let it sit like that for a few more minutes. If no change, force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. After restoring from backup, you must sync to restore your iTunes content.

Can't turn off iPad passcode lock in iOS 7

I searched these forums looking for the answer to this question. Some said that there is an option called turn passcode off under general, passcode lock. I don't have that in my menu. I have two options, Autolock and passcode lock. I have set autolock to never. When I go to passcode lock, and turn it off it simply asks for a new pass code. There is no option anywhere to turn it off. Is this no longer possible?

You should go into settings, general,, passcode lock. Enter your current passcode then you'll see the option to turn it off.

Enhancement Request: iOS Ability to "force" passcode lock

Passcode lock is a great feature but with limitations.
"Require Passcode" has the below options:
Immediately
After 1 minute
After 5 minutes
After 15 minutes
As a user who locks the screen frequently, I do not want to enter in my complex passcode every time I remove my iPhone from my pocket. With that in mind, I have set the "Require Passcode" to "After 15 minutes".
I would however, for security reasons, like the ability to lock the iPhone and force the "Immediately" option temporarily instead of waiting for the 15 minute interval.
There is currently (to my knowledge) no way to do this and I believe it would be a great feature enhancment to improve the useability of the iPhone.
Cheers,
Jason

It wouldn't be difficult at all actually. It's just software.
The API that is called to initiate the passcode requirement after the timer expires could alternatively be called by some other process.
Press and hold the power button for x amount of time.
or
Press and hold the power button and provide an additional "slide to secure lock" option under the current "slide to power off".
The options are endless

Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3

I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3. When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used. Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer. The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock. Any thoughts?

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

15-minute passcode lock self-defeating

I've learned that having an Exchange account (apparently only Exchange 2007, not 2003) results in a diminished set of choices regarding the time interval before the passcode lock sets, and that is consistent with my experience: the four-hour option was available when I had only an Exchange 2003 account installed on the device, and this shortened to 15 minutes after installing an Exchange 2007 account. In my case, it is not a matter of an employer making the requirement: I am the employer, and I am using, in this case, Microsoft Business Online Productivity Services--i.e., hosted Exchange vs. in-house. I have not yet found a setting to override this ridiculously short interval on the Exchange server, but at least I know where to look, and it would not seem to be anywhere on my devices. The fact that I can choose not to use a passcode lock altogether demonstrates that this is not a security requirement imposed by the Exchange server, just a more limited range of options. The option not to use the passcode lock would not be available if it were a true security issue for Exchange, one presumes. I don't recall, by the way, such behavior in Windows smartphones I've had in the past.
Is anyone else finding the 15-minute passcode lock on the iPad and iPhone as annoying and dangerous as I am? I have disabled the lock altogether as a result. It is terribly annoying to have only 15 minutes to set my iPad aside before having to unlock it, and it renders the iPhone downright dangerous in the car--and I'm talking about turning iTunes on or off, or simply checking a map. I never talk or text while driving.
I thought four hours was a reasonable (for me) compromise between security and usability, but someone (Apple? Microsoft?) has decided we all need more protection than that and has reduced the intervals to a mere 15-minute maximum. Now I have no other security than wiping my device remotely if it falls out of my possession. The setting screen tells us that "shorter times are more secure," as if it were scolding us. I would have even greater security if I had never bought the devices, but that is beside the point.
I don't understand why users should not be able to decide for themselves the degree of passcode security they desire and need on their devices.

Common... Go to **** with security, there's not much security regarding iOS anyway. This was a convenient setting for various reasons, like locking the device overnight so kids can't play with my iPad in the morning.
Unlocking it everytime I need to use my camera (Camera+), check email, or write something is a nonsense. So I understand those resulting in NO LOCK AT ALL.
Pitty, having it set for an hour or two was a great "semi-secure" thing. Now there's nothing.
Why the heck is it related to Exchange? Is this some kind of Gates' revenge or what?
And what's the point in having a full choice from 1-2-3-4-5 minutes on the iPhone - what's the security difference between 3 and 5 minutes? Can anybody tell?
Regarding the car conversations - those who conversate while driving are dangerous? How can we eliminate in-car conversations then? Forbid couples and families driving together?
The exchange feature allows the owner of the exchange server (and thus the one who controls the exchange accounts hosted on it) the ability to secure their empolyees accounts. Since anything their employees house on the company's exchange server is the property of the company, they get to set the security policy as they see fit. Exchange then pushes out a security certificate over the air that overrides the default security of the device's OS and emposes the corporate policy. So no, it has nothing to do with Bill Gates, it has to do with a system that is primarily geared towards enterprise and corporate deployment, and enabling the owners of those systems to empose their own security standards and practices on devices used to connect to their corporate servers. It also, btw, gives them the ability to remotely wipe your exhange account off the device at any time.
I've never worked for any company that allows empolyees to use personal cell phones for access to company accounts without using some means of imposing security on the connecting devices - Exchange allows them a simple and standard way to do that.
A passcode lock on an iOS device offers at least as much security as possible on any smart phone. If employed with reasonable time out settings to avoide giving a theif open access, it does offer good protection against anyone actually gaining access to information on the device. They can always restore the device as new, wiping it clean in the process, and go about using it as theirs, but your information at least, has been secured.
It is certainly more than something to merely keep the kids out. If you use online banking or other financial apps, don't want someone reading your email or getting the addresses of all your family and friends, keep work documents or other confidential information, then you should be using a passcode lock on your device, with a fairly short default timeout. Complain about the inconvenience all you wish, but don't disable the security passcode and then complain when the device is stolen and someone uses the infromation to aid them in stealing your identity, spam'ing your contacts, sending your personal photo's to anyone and everyone, posting your personal information on web sites, or whatever else they may do with full access to your iPhone and its contents.
To my mind, it would be akin to leaving the doors to your house unlocked and wide open, because you find the act of having to dig keys out of your pocket everytime you come home too inconvenient. Of course, you are free to do that too, but then don't complain when someone walks away with all your personal items and information. Or perhaps a better analogy would be, don't complain when someone walks in to your house, sits down at your computer (which of course you have left logged in, or have set to autologin every time) and happily reads your email, copies down your online passwords, goes into your accounts and generally makes your life far, far more "inconvenient" then it ever would have been had you just logged out, and locked the door.
There is a reason why identity theft is a multi-billion dollar a year crime category - so many people make it so easy for their personal information to be compromised that a world full of unsecured smart phones and tablets is a crook's dream world, like a kid in a candy shop.

How do I restore my ipod to factory settings, but I have a passcode lock, and my screen is broken so I can't type in my password when I connect to itunes?

Okay so I have had my ipod 4th gen for almost 2 years buy the screen has fallen out of the back casing, (I bought it as refurbished) and I am trying to reset it to factory settings, so when I get a new one I can register my device on apps/games since some apps require that you can only register on one device, but I think the thing that connects to the screen is ripped so the screen won't turn on and I can't physically touch it. What I want to know is how can I restore it with me not being able to type in the password lock since the screen is broken?
or is there a way to disable the passcode lock through the computer?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

How to turn off screen without passcode lock.

I just upgraded my wife's iPad 2 from ios 6 to 7. It used to be when you closed the ipad cover, it would turn off the screen right away. I would still like it to turn off the screen right away when the cover is closed (so as not to waste batteries) yet NOT require a passcode when opened again (just a slide of the arrow like it used to be). But right now, if I turn off the lock/unlock feature, and close the lid, the screen will remain full-on until the the auto-lock timer goes into effect - which will be never if I set it to "never".
I don't want to argue about the merits of having a passcode, I concede all your points, so there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am for not wanting to use one - but I would like to be able to have the screen go off without requiring a passcode to turn it back on. Is this now impossible? At the least, it should turn off the screen immediately when the cover is closed, and wait to put it in passcode lock mode until the auto-lock timer expires.
Is there any way to do this or is this just a case of Apple imposing this security feature our own good? Thanks.
-J

Wow. That was a super-fast answer. Thanks. I had seen that optoin and foolishly hadn't tried it because I thought typing my passcode there was just another way to put it into passcode lockdown "immediately". Well, I said I was stupid. Thanks, it does now work the way it used to and I can still have it require the passcode after a certain timeout period.
