My mom has an iPhone she upgraded this week to iOS 17 and it
constantly keeps bothering her to add a passcode (which she doesn't
want to do).
The argument she taught me (years ago) was she doesn't have a
passcode when she turns on a light, watches the TV, opens a jar of
peanut butter, or whatever, so why does she need a passcode when she
looks at her phone.
Anyway, she wants this new iOS 17 message to go away, but I'm in a
different state than she is (heh heh heh) both figuratively and
literally, in that I updated my iPad to see what it was doing but I
can only go as high as iOS 16.7.2 (which, interestingly enough, also
nags me too).
I was able to get rid of the request for a passcode but she can't get
rid of it. Mine still says with a red (1) "Update Apple ID Settings",
which if I tap it, it says "Some account services require you to sign
in again", to which I flip the bird to Apple for constantly forcing >mothership tracking.
But I can live with Apple constantly nagging (forever) for me to
repeatedly log into Apple's mothership privacy-destroying tracking
servers - but she is saying it's asking her for the passcode = and
that bothers her a lot.
In summary, how does she get rid of the iOS 17 requirement for a
passcode?

Since when does a light, TV, or jar of peanut butter store your
personal infomation that could be used someone else if the phone is
stolen or is lost?? If the phone is set-up to connect to your home
network, then it could also be used to gain access to other things on
that network.
Your "Mom" sounds just much of a dumbass as you are ... which is no
surprise since "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree". :-\

Wow! Insulting people’s family is stepping over a line. Hopefully you will reconsider and apologize for your misstep.

The mere fact that Apple provides an option to disable the passcode shows
even they recognize not everyone wants/needs it.
Thanks for helping me out as my mom is not technical so the image you sent was perfect in helping me solve the problem for her phone on iOS 17.

Your helpful image showed Apple allows you to bypass the passcode request.

On my iPad (admittedly on iOS 16 and not 17), I was able to skip the
request to set up a passcode during the initial post-OS-update settings.
Then I was able to skip the request for 2FV (which, as I recall, once you accept, you can _never_ get rid of it). Apple was sued for this practice.
The only thing you can't ever get rid of is the requirement that you re-log into the Apple servers (which most people don't realize they're doing).
Note: I'm not talking logging in the first time; I'm saying you have to constantly and repeatedly log in again, and again, and again, even though you're always logged in anyway (if you don't believe me, try it yourself).
In summary, thanks for your help as I didn't see what she saw because I skipped the passcode request at the beginning so my iPad didn't show red.

A good son would buy mom a new android.
She shouldn't have to piss around with apple stuff.
Think about it when your check comes.
You assume that the "mom" in this example actually exists.
Doesn't matter. There was no need to call someone's mother a dumb ass.
You guys are so full of hate for Arlen that you're willing to stoop to teenage tactics to get back at him.
