   Good to know. I'm not an Apple person. And by rarely having to enter it that   
   comes down to upgrading the phone or changing some aspect of iCloud, which is   
   rare.   
   In normal day to day use, I don't remember it asking.   
   And to the point I have never been locked out.   
      
   My experience is set it and forget it.

   As a Linux user with an iPhone and Apple watch, my method is to just leave it   
   alone and let them work. And they do work extremely well for me.   
   BTW I also have a Samsung mid tier phone and it too works fine for me.
