How to fix Face ID and password hidden

Every time you use the phone in general and iPhone in particular. Many people have the habit of setting a password to secure their phone. For iPhone, countless users also use Face ID - unlocking by facial recognition to protect their phone more securely. To set up Face ID or change the password, we must do it in Settings. However, the hidden status of Face ID and password makes it impossible for you to do this. So how to handle it?

Face ID and password are hidden, do you know the reason?

Hidden Face ID and password entries are not a rare situation for iPhone users. However, many iFans still do not understand Face ID and hidden passwords. In fact, there are many reasons as follows:

1. The user accidentally selected 'Do not allow' to change the password, so the Face ID and password entries were hidden.
2. Face ID feature is integrated in iPhone X and later models. Therefore, it is possible that your phone does not have Face ID or has lost Face ID so it cannot be used or set up.
3. The iPhone's software is conflicting, leading to some problems. This can also be the reason why Face ID is hidden on iPhone.

Above are the measures when Face ID and password are hidden. To fix this situation, please read the solution in the next section.
