  1. Tips on Setting Up Touch ID & Passcode on iPhone/iPad Data security is a big concern to everyone. When it comes to the usage of iPhone/iPad, Touch ID & Passcode are the shields to prevent your personal data from being accessed without permission. In this article, we're going to focus on the tips that you can use of when setting up Touch ID & Passcode and increasing data security on your iPhone/ iPad. Part 1: Steps to Set Up Touch ID Touch ID allow users to unlock their iOS device with fingerprint. It is available for the under-listed iPhone/iPad models: iPhone 5s or later; iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 3 or later. To use Touch ID, you need to add a fingerprint first (you can enroll up to five fingerprints). Here are the specific steps: Step 1. Go to "Settings" > "Touch ID & Passcode". You'll asked to enter passcode of the device if you have turned on passcode. Step 2. Click "Add a Fingerprint" to begin.

  2. Step 3. You'll be asked to place finger on the Home button several times until your fingerprint is completely read by the device. Please: Use your finger to touch the Home button instead of pressing it; Keep touching the Home button until you feel a vibration; Make small adjustments to the position of your finger each time you touch the Home button. Step 4. You'll then need to adjust your grip. In this step, touch the Home button with the outer areas of your fingertip, instead of the center part that has already been recorded. Step 5. Your fingerprint has been successfully added when you see "Complete". You can then rename the fingerprint to help yourself remember the right finger. You can not only use Touch ID to unlock your iDevice, but also to make purchase in iTunes/App/iBook Store and make Apple Pay purchase. To enable the functions, on "Touch ID & Passcode" settings, toggle on "Apple Pay" and "iTunes & App Store" options.

  3. Note: For iPhone 6/6 Plus or later, you can use Touch ID for Apple Pay within apps, and on websites in Safaria; for iPad Pro/Air 2/Mini 3 or later,only within apps and on websites in Safari. Part 2: Steps to Set Up Passcode Step 1. navigate to "Settings" > "Touch ID & Passcode" ("Passcode" for device without Touch ID), and then tap "Turn Passcode On". Step 2.

Note: There are four types of passcode: six-digit passcode, four-digit numeric code, custom numeric code and custom alphanumeric code. Tap on "Passcode Options" to switch to the one you like. Step 3. If You want to change the passcode later, tap on "Change passcode". Part 3: Tips to Level Up Information Security To level up the security of your iPhone/iPad, you should: 1.

  4. 2. Require passcode Immediately But you change the "Require Passcode" setting to require passcode 1 minute~4 hour after the screen is locked.
