Change the Password Passcode

I have an iPhone 11 that I store a lot of my account passwords on in the "passwords" option under "settings". The question I have is, is there a way to change this passcode? I can't find any articles/instructions on how to do this, if I look online I just find links to change my phone unlock passcode. The issue I'm having is, my password passcode and the security code for my phone are the same and I need to take my phone in for service and I will have to provide the security code for them to unlock my phone but I don't want them to have access to all my account passwords too... so is there a way to update/change just this so they are different?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

No, the iPhone uses the same passcode for both unlocking the phone and accessing saved passwords.


To protect your passwords during service:


1. Turn off AutoFill:

- Settings > Passwords > AutoFill Passwords > Toggle off.


2. Backup and Remove Passwords:

- Backup your passwords securely (e.g., via iCloud Keychain).

- Temporarily delete them from your iPhone: Settings > Passwords > Edit > Select and delete.


3. Restore Passwords:

- After service, restore your passwords from your backup.
