Question: 1 / 410

Why might you need to enter your passcode even if you have Touch ID setup?

You just restarted your device

Entering your passcode after restarting your device is necessary for security reasons. When a device is restarted, all authentication methods, including Touch ID, are temporarily disabled until the user unlocks the device with a passcode. This measure is in place to ensure that no unauthorized user can access the device immediately after a reboot, enhancing security by requiring a known piece of information rather than a biometric identifier that might be less secure if someone else obtained it. This protocol helps protect sensitive data and maintain user privacy from potential threats that could occur soon after a device starts up.

The other scenarios listed reflect situations where Touch ID may be bypassed for specific security reasons, but those situations do not relate directly to the action of restarting the device, which specifically necessitates the input of a passcode for initial security clearance.
