Passcode expired

I keep getting a message that my phone's passcode has expired and I need to reset it. I have done the force shut down and it comes back up but the message keeps appearing. I also just got a message that someone near Atlanta was trying to log in which I denied. How do I keep this message from coming back?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Is this iPhone issued by your workplace or prior employer? It appears that there is a profile installed which is reminding you to change your passcode. You can change your passcode to comply by opening Settings ➔ Face ID & Passcode ➔ Change Passcode.

If the iPhone is yours and you want to remove the reminder to change your passcode periodically then you can open Settings ➔ General ➔ Profile: Select the Profile that appears and then choose Remove Profile.
