Hello,

When we detect that our user has not configured a pin or biometric security on their phone, we'd like to prompt them to configure a pin code from our iOS app. Reading through the security doc, I didn't see an API to do so. Is there a way to do such?

Thanks

There is a way to determine whether a passcode is set, and it sounds like you’ve already got that sorted out. There is no dedicated mechanism to prompt the user to set a passcode.

I don't think there is and hope there will never be.

That would be a security weakness to let anyone know what security level they have set. And even worse, have an app that let him set its pin (with possibility to steal it) !!!

Why would you have to know ?
