•  
• On the “Passcode” screen, tap “Turn Passcode Off”.

Enter your current passcode.

The “Passcode” screen now shows the “Turn Passcode On” option.

If you’ve forgotten your passcode, you must reset your watch to access it.

Lock Your Apple Watch Manually

There may be times when you want to lock your watch when it’s on your wrist, but this doesn’t happen automatically. To manually lock your watch, press and hold the side button on your watch.

Three slider buttons display on your watch screen. Drag the “Lock Device” slider button to the right.

You’ll be required to enter your passcode the next time you want to use your Apple Watch.

Enter Your Passcode

If you take off your Apple Watch, wear it very loosely, or manually lock it, it asks for your passcode the next time you try to use it. Simply tap out your passcode on the number pad that displays.

How to Unlock Apple Watch with iPhone

If you take your Apple Watch off occasionally, and you don’t want to enter your passcode every time you put it back on, you can make your life easier by turning on a setting to unlock your watch automatically when you unlock your iPhone.

To unlock your Apple Watch automatically when you unlock your iPhone, tap “Unlock with iPhone” on the “Passcode” screen in the “Watch” app on your phone. This option can also be turned on and off directly on the watch, as we’ll mention later in this article.

With “Unlock with iPhone” on, you may never have to enter your passcode on your Apple Watch, as long as you’re wearing it. This is useful, if you can’t stand having to tap your passcode on the small screen.

Erase All Data from Your Watch

You can add further security to your Apple Watch by automatically erasing the data from the watch after 10 failed attempts to enter the passcode. To turn on this feature, tap “Erase Data” on the “Passcode” screen in the “Watch” app on your phone.

If you turn on this option, be careful how many times you enter your passcode incorrectly to avoid erasing the data on your watch.

Use a Longer Passcode on Your Watch

You can create a passcode as long as 10 digits on your watch if you want better security. To add a passcode from 5-10 digits long, turn off “Simple Passcode” on the “Passcode” screen in the “Watch” app on your phone.

The slider button moves to the left and turns black and white, as shown below.

Enter the current 4-digit passcode on your watch.

Then, enter a 5- to 10-digit passcode and tap “OK” when you are finished.

Now, you can use the longer passcode to access your watch.
