How To Turn Off My Iphone Passcode

Random issue of the day: Passcodes

Option 1: New corporate email account or Google Access?

First double check that you didn't install a Google Device Policy for gaining access to Google-email or Google Drive or another secure email per IT requirements.

Certain corporate email accounts require a certain level of security (complex passcode) and require ability to auto-lock phone and/or erase data if someone is attempting to compromise your device. Makes sense, but it limits all your options on your phone for general security when doing so. Some security options will grey out everything.

This caused the restrictions on my passcodes requiring a long crazy password and drove me nuts. Couldn't get back to a 4-digit or 6-digit passcode without dismantling that and REMOVING (aka uninstalling) it resolves 100%

FYI, if you want this it's great, but comes with limitations for daily personal use.
Features include Locked screen access, Remote Wipe, Cloud access.
