# Clear Passcode Remove the passcode from a device. ## Discussion Clearing the passcode in iOS 16 no longer adds the passcode to the history of passcodes. Therefore, the user can reuse the cleared passcode even when the `Passcode` payload has the `pinHistory` key set. Refer to the following sections to determine supported channels and requirements, and to see an example request and response. ### Command availability ||| |--------------------------|---------------------------| |Device channel |iOS, visionOS, watchOS | |User channel |N/A | |Requires supervision |N/A | |Allowed in user enrollment|N/A | |Required access right |AllowPasscodeRemovalAndLock| ### Example request and response **Request:** ```plist Command RequestType ClearPasscode UnlockToken REFUQQAABPRWRVJTAAAABAAAAAVUWVBFAAAABAAAAAJVVUlEAAAAEGHX7XgO5UNZsRiL 9Kq3hSdITUNLAAAAKLUR5mc5hBzI4bEsbWacE/gmhdJS6rl3978V3DY9ylBbEBGgJ/fA Ac9XUkFQAAAABAAAAAFTQUxUAAAAFIHju7P8BPFTz0JA8MDo+PsvcAAmSVRFUgAAAAQA AEEaVVVJRAAAABC70Oy5TtZCGocX/i7orO/pQ0xBUwAAAAQAAAABV1JBUAAAAAQAAAAD S1RZUAAAAAQAAAAAV1BLWQAAACjH8wUEvSkfgrEPSSQUazAz1eCuTXET3CkqgkNQZkjS jZEHtWmXpC4IVVVJRAAAABBW4TUxIb1L7aNAmbmGkxiIQ0xBUwAAAAQAAAACV1JBUAAA AAQAAAADS1RZUAAAAAQAAAABV1BLWQAAAChaDERvmDXtk9mikMCT30uDQ4XwrT9ifdmf 3Hjz/6atBPq/1uNpm5TtUEJLWQAAACCypmyEJV4x4wV6CKfZFEmkYHf8kOXh5ONM1A6B R26KM1VVSUQAAAAQH5Ol3/mLSM2dLvFxGTlf5kNMQVMAAAAEAAAAA1dSQVAAAAAEAAAA A0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAoxNNjRWfqvgqXMVyiqDH2LXJdpafgsm+8ovRQuzL4 tp3Bs5y25bmRelVVSUQAAAAQB7drprzaR5aePknqFUjyWENMQVMAAAAEAAAABVdSQVAA AAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAoMCe2S7psda5AHw99a+DKV8m0hR6aKUKP VG5oURKAJZSXJKYRRO2xKlVVSUQAAAAQMpEnWAWOS0qnOwWRdtSAlUNMQVMAAAAEAAAA BldSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAoyhn4O/EIo5Q1NLt0/wL1UZGA EqTE45DEcNstAQZLk+1U/FSKOWtqrlVVSUQAAAAQFuJUehe6TC+3TImCkemk6kNMQVMA AAAEAAAAB1dSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAoMcyPJI8vNBh7j6je VPu3zgDYTXAuoo68jqZU4kCubSGyRvIpa/O4n1VVSUQAAAAQF2v1dlxfRMqYs7swzn9s nENMQVMAAAAEAAAACFdSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAoSx2pMsvH K2HNg9IIbrVEzX7T3Rw0vLEmwMJ3ignooj+3GMHeaJ0aplVVSUQAAAAQ8Qif3NCoTjiK WRjgOIHG6ENMQVMAAAAEAAAACVdSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQS1kAAAAo n2icCfaIRPbE7mzGqO7rOnuPhgUbYkcpAqf6RnAXljcpSxZqBiJtGlVVSUQAAAAQt9a3 ThB7SwaGw50i9Hhfu0NMQVMAAAAEAAAACldSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAEAAAAAFdQ S1kAAAAoEW1/yC+YYXLVzyRxZwghOADACnWvOnHdBPhJ/z7VEkyHcObDPI9w41VVSUQA AAAQ4vImTUp5S7qmyMDZ82nM70NMQVMAAAAEAAAAC1dSQVAAAAAEAAAAA0tUWVAAAAAE AAAAAFdQS1kAAAAo8vkvhYNP7rTLdfXRifh+dcTIbj3EEJKyYXeCL9J9trYAo7B5mV5u 41NJR04AAAAUtFVbS3MM33WvBsEis1imzvs069A= CommandUUID 0001_ClearPasscode ``` **Response:** ```plist CommandUUID 0001_ClearPasscode Status Acknowledged UDID 00008020-000915083C80012E ``` ## Topics ### Commands and responses [`ClearPasscodeCommand`](/documentation/DeviceManagement/ClearPasscodeCommand) The command to remove the passcode from a device.
