There are reports from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg regarding Apple’s new headset, the Apple Vision Pro. This device requires setting up a passcode as a means of user authentication, similar to iPhones and iPads which typically have a six-digit numeric code. However, the question is, what happens if one forgets this passcode? Can it be recovered?
According to Gurman’s customer inquiries with Apple, it is not possible to recover or reset the passcode on the Vision Pro by oneself. Instead, it needs to be addressed and resolved at an Apple Store. In case visiting a store is inconvenient, Apple provides the option to send the product to them.
When using the Vision Pro, user authentication is achieved through Optic ID, a method similar to the Face ID or Touch ID used in iPhones and iPads. However, there are specific instances where the device will prompt for the passcode, such as a restart or other particular situations, thus increasing the chances of forgetting it. Unlike iPhones and iPads, Vision Pro cannot have its passcode cleared by connecting it to a Mac or PC.
TLDR: The new Apple Vision Pro headset requires a passcode for user authentication, but forgetting it cannot be resolved independently. It must be taken to an Apple Store for assistance. The device utilizes Optic ID for user identification, but certain situations might trigger the need for the passcode, which cannot be cleared by connecting the headset to a computer.
