The passcode for Apple Pay on an iPhone is the same as your device's lock screen passcode. If you're using Face ID or Touch ID for Apple Pay, a passcode is still required as a backup authentication method for added security. Ensure your device's passcode is strong and secure to protect your transactions. If you haven’t set up a passcode, you can do so in the 'Settings' app under 'Face ID & Passcode' or 'Touch ID & Passcode', depending on your device model.
