Disable unlock, but keep faceid? - eviltoast

Goal: I don’t want to have to unlock my ipad as it never leaves my house (same concept as phone). However, when I want to make purchases I still need Passcode/FaceID for that.

Behavior: No matter what if you disable phone unlocking it automatically removes all credit cards and removes faceID entirely.

I’m convinced Apple doesn’t seem to allow you to do this and I can’t for the life of me understand why. Security wise I would still need to know the passcode/FaceID for the purchase so why do they COMPLETELY LINK turning off unlocking with completely removing all credit card data. The credit card data is already protected by your technology so you either trust it or you don’t Apple.

      Not true. FaceID often doesn’t work at an angle or when the ipad is sitting next to me or certain lightning like when it’s dark. I’m finding FaceID more and more annoying these days.

        Of FaceID doesn’t work in night/dark, you definitely have a hardware issue. It’s supposed to work (and does so) in pitch black rooms too. Mine works with literally no lights on.
