Paying with Code: How to customize authorization options at Apple Pay adjust

Paying with Apple Pay both in-store and online works straightforwardly without entering a code, as long as you've specified that the payment can be authorized via Face ID or Touch ID. During the payment process, you can also use the "Pay with code" option to switch to your code at any time to authorize a payment.However, if you are prompted to enter the code when paying, even though authorization via Face ID or Touch ID is active, this may be due to a problem with the identification of your face or fingerprint. This happens, for example, when your face is covered or the fingerprint sensor is very dirty. Another reason for having to enter your code instead of the usual Face ID or Touch ID authorization can be a setting in the authorization options.

1. Open the settings of your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap "Face ID & Codes" or on iPhones without Face ID "Touch ID & Codes".
3. For security reasons, you must now enter your code to access the settings.
4. Activate the slider at the "Apple Pay" option in the category "Use Face ID for:" or on iPhones without Face ID "Use Touch ID for:".
