While having a passcode on your iPhone is really handy for security, it can pose issues. Namely, if you forget what that passcode is. You'll be locked out of the device, with disabled periods lasting longer and longer as you input the incorrect code.
It's something which affects us all. In recent news, former UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, fell foul of this. As reported by LBC, Johnson has found himself unable to hand over old messages to the Covid inquiry, after forgetting the passcode for his old iPhone.
