Defining When to Ask for a Passcode

If you often turn your iPad off and on in short intervals throughout the day, you may not want to keep typing in a passcode. In that case, you can adjust the time interval before your iPad will ask for the passcode. The longer the time interval, the less chance you'll constantly need to keep typing in a passcode each time you turn on your iPad. However, the longer the time interval, the greater the chance that someone can steal or peek at your iPad and see all your data.

To define the time interval before your iPad asks for a passcode, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.

  2. Tap General. The General settings screen appears.

  3. Tap Passcode Lock. An Enter Passcode screen appears.

  4. Type your four-digit passcode. The Passcode Lock settings screen appears.

  5. Tap Require Passcode. The Require Passcode screen appears, as shown in Figure 8-3.

  6. Tap an option such as Immediately, After 5 minutes, or After 1 hour.

  7. Press the Home button.

    The Require Passcode screen lets you define a time interval for the iPad to wait before asking for a passcode.
