My iPhone 8 keeps asking for the passcode all the time
Paspokerface -
Hello,
Thank you in advance if you can help me. My iPhone 8 has been asking for the code every time it restarts for a while now. For example, if I put it down, it turns off, and when I pick it up again, it turns on and asks for the code. Before, it only asked for the code when I completely shut it down.
Is there a procedure to return it to normal? If so, thank you very much for letting me know.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
what I don't understand is why he asks for it as soon as he turns off and not just when it's locked.
If you didn't know about this issue before, it's maybe because you hadn't set up automatic locking before in Brightness & Display?
See the paragraph "Change when your iPhone locks automatically here:
https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/iphone/iph14a867ae/ios
This is just a lead...
Thank you Yves, I have set the lock to "never" and it's the same, then I tried "five minutes" and it's still the same. As soon as I put the iPhone down, it turns off and when I pick it up three minutes later, it asks me for the code again. I enter the code and it goes on like that, it's very annoying!
Anyway, thank you very much for your help. If anyone has an idea, I thank them in advance.

There is indeed a command that allows you to disable this screen timeout... To check!
Of course, and it has been done since

I have therefore set the lock to "never"
You need to read!
Thank you for your response. I probably miscommunicated because I don’t see why the Chartres of how it works wouldn’t allow an answer to my question. I’m not asking to unlock my phone without knowing the code; I know the unlock code for my iPhone, but what I don’t understand is why it requests it as soon as it turns off and not just when it is locked. Thank you in advance for your responses, everyone.
Thank you Francis for your suggestion, I will try it. I think I haven't changed my operator's PIN code, can you tell me if I risk blocking my phone in case I change it later, if it works, what it means, etc.?
Thank you very much for your help
It is necessary to know the PIN code for your phone's SIM card; otherwise, you will not be able to use your phone line. However, if you no longer have this PIN code, you must at least have the PUK code (PIN Unlock Key) for this card. Both codes are provided by your telephone operator when you received your card. The PIN code can be changed by the user and may also be forgotten... that is why the PUK code is provided; this PUK code allows you to reset the PIN code after three unsuccessful attempts. So, before performing this manipulation, which consists of turning off and restarting your iPhone, make sure you have the PIN code, and if not, at least the PUK code.

But, one more suggestion before turning off and restarting the iPhone: try first to completely disable the code, then exit the settings. Afterwards, reactivate the code...
Hello Francis,
I did what you told me regarding the last paragraph, I turned it off and on again, and I disabled the code and reactivated it by using my fingerprint, which means that now I just have to put my finger on the main button to turn it back on. Of course, I don’t think this has fixed it, but at least it’s easier and for now, that will do.

Thank you very much for your intervention and the advice you gave me.
Hello everyone,
After going through all the responses, I have FINALLY FOUND, thanks to Francis! Here are the steps to follow:
- Fingerprint and code; - Delete the code; - TURN OFF AND TURN ON the device; -
