So I have an interesting issue here with L's phone. She is using an iPhone SE model.
Her dexterity with one hand is not very good. It requires Touch ID to unlock it, or a passcode, none of which she can now use. We have tried to calibrate Touch ID a number of times and it no longer seems to be very reliable.
Fortunately despite not being able to unlock it she can call me using Siri.
What options do we have for unlocking the phone?
1. Can the passcode be removed? I know there are security issues there but can it be disabled entirely?
2. Can I get a keyboard with large numeric keys so at least it could be unlocked?
3. Failing that, I could try to swap the phone out for a model with Face ID, which may or may not work.
Thanks.

@brian_hartgen @NicksWorld Brian, yes, you can remove passcode. If she is the only one using the phone, all she would need to do is hit home. On non button phones, you'd have face ID which has other issues. You'll have to look, but you could get a bluetooth numpad which could act as phone pad for her. I'd have to find a device that might work for her.

@ner @NicksWorld Thanks, I've just tried temporarily removing the code on my phone, and that does work. So I can do that for her tomorrow.
