We will not dwell on the first trivial screens (entering the language, location, etc.) and go straight to the security settings:

To add fingerprints to the phone memory, the setup wizard will ask you to touch the Home button several times. Then take the phone the way you plan to use it and slide your finger over the sensor – the smartphone will remember the finger placement options and complete the creation of the Touch ID.

Password

After creating the Touch ID, the setup wizard will ask you to create a passcode. The key is needed to unlock the device if fingerprint recognition does not work, as well as to access the phone functions of a person who is not included in the Touch ID base.

The user has three types of passwords, which can be selected on the key creation screen by clicking the 'Passcode parameters' button:

  • Six arbitrary characters (letters and numbers);
  • Six digits;
  • Four digits.
