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 I use my Hable one to unlock my iPhone when it is sped up in my pocket and you can do everything on your iPhone using Hable one so long as you have an ear earpiece in your ear whether wired or Bluetooth. Voice control can also unlock your phone but that is unwise in public settings. Fingers crossed for you both! Harry.

@BrailleHarry You can unlock the phone using one hand can you with that keyboard?

@brian_hartgen If the Hable one can be placed on a flat surface, then one hand would be sufficient because you only need to press some of the vertical braille cell dot and sometimes them together with one of the vertical bars of.7 or eight so that should work I use VoiceOver and therefore think of it as a braille device.
